Blautia faecicola strain KGMB01111

Blautia faecicola strain KGMB01111 is a Gram-positive, mesophilic bacterium characterized by its cocci shape and anaerobic metabolism. As a chemoheterotroph, it derives energy from organic compounds, making it well-suited for environments rich in organic matter. The strain exists as single cells rather than forming clusters or chains, which may influence its ecological interactions. Blautia faecicola strain KGMB01111 has a single replicon, indicating a simplified genetic structure that may facilitate rapid adaptation to its anaerobic habitat. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is 37°C, aligning with the conditions typically found in the human gastrointestinal tract, where members of the Blautia genus are often found. Notably, while the strain possesses flagella, it displays no mobility, which is an interesting trait that suggests a reliance on passive movement through its environment rather than active locomotion. This may be advantageous for survival in stable, nutrient-rich habitats where movement is less critical. The strain is cataloged under the accession number SDKC00000000.1, providing a basis for further genetic and functional studies. The anaerobic nature of Blautia faecicola strain KGMB01111 highlights its potential role in gut microbiota, where anaerobic conditions are prevalent. This strain may contribute to the complex microbial ecosystem within the intestines, influencing digestion and overall health through its metabolic activities.
