Coprobacter fastidiosus NSB1 = JCM 33896 strain NSB1

Coprobacter fastidiosus strain NSB1, designated as JCM 33896, is classified as a Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. This strain exhibits strict anaerobic growth, meaning it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. It is noteworthy that Coprobacter fastidiosus is a non-spore-forming organism, indicating that it does not produce spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions. This strain is characterized by a single replicon, which is a distinct feature of its genetic organization. The accession number for this strain is RBXN00000000.1, providing a reference point for researchers interested in studying its genomic properties. The ecological role of Coprobacter fastidiosus, particularly in anaerobic environments such as the gastrointestinal tracts of animals, suggests its potential involvement in the digestion of complex organic materials. As a member of the gut microbiota, this bacterium may contribute to the breakdown of dietary fibers and the fermentation processes that produce short-chain fatty acids, which are beneficial for host health. Understanding the properties and interactions of Coprobacter fastidiosus can shed light on the complex dynamics of microbial communities in anaerobic environments.
