Neisseria elongata subsp. glycolytica 6171/75

Neisseria elongata subsp. glycolytica 6171/75 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella and a single replicon. This subspecies is part of the Neisseria genus, which is known for its role in human microbiota and potential pathogenicity. The Gram-negative classification indicates that N. elongata subsp. glycolytica possesses a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane, a feature that can influence its interactions with the environment and host organisms. The presence of flagella suggests that this bacterium is motile, which could play a role in its ability to colonize various niches or evade host defenses. With only one replicon, N. elongata subsp. glycolytica likely has a streamlined genome organization, which could impact its metabolic capabilities and adaptability. The specific accession number for this strain, LS483435.1, allows for its identification and further study in genetic and genomic contexts. From an ecological perspective, the motility conferred by flagella may enhance the bacterium's ability to thrive in diverse environments, potentially influencing its interactions within microbial communities. Understanding the traits of N. elongata subsp. glycolytica can provide insights into its ecological roles and contributions to the microbiome.
