Anaerotruncus colihominis strain TF05-12AC

Anaerotruncus colihominis strain TF05-12AC is a bacterium primarily found in the caeca, feces, and rectal mucosa of its host, Homo sapiens. It has a single replicon, indicating a simplified genomic structure. The strain's ecological niche suggests a role in the gastrointestinal microbiome, where it likely contributes to the fermentation processes and overall digestive health of humans. The presence of Anaerotruncus colihominis in fecal matter and rectal mucosa highlights its significance in the gut environment, potentially influencing gut health and microbial balance. Its isolation from these specific habitats implies that it may interact with various substrates, including dietary fibers and undigested materials, which could have implications for nutrient absorption and metabolism. This strain is cataloged under accession number QVME00000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic and functional studies. Understanding the traits and habitats of Anaerotruncus colihominis can enhance our knowledge of gut microbiota dynamics and their influence on human health.
