Sutterella wadsworthensis

Sutterella wadsworthensis is a Gram-negative, ovoid-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which may contribute to its motility. This organism is noted for having a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. The accession number associated with Sutterella wadsworthensis is CP068055.1, which provides a reference for its genetic information in genomic databases. The Gram-negative classification suggests that Sutterella wadsworthensis has a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane, which can influence its interactions with the environment and host organisms. The ovoid shape may also play a role in its ecological niche, potentially affecting how it engages with surrounding microorganisms and substrates. The presence of flagella indicates that Sutterella wadsworthensis can exhibit motility, which may enhance its ability to colonize specific environments or compete for resources. Understanding the motility and structural characteristics of this bacterium can provide insights into its ecological role, particularly in relation to gut microbiota where it has been identified. Overall, Sutterella wadsworthensis exemplifies how specific morphological and genetic traits can inform our understanding of bacterial behavior and ecology, particularly in complex microbial communities.
