Gut and Environment Bacteria in Bacteroidota

Description

Bacteroidota is a bacterial phylum with more than 700 species. It includes four main orders: Bacteroidales, Cytophagales, Flavobacteriales, and Sphingobacteriales. These bacteria are gram-negative, do not form spores, and are usually rod-shaped. They can be aerobic or fermentative, and some use gliding motility while others ...

Transcript

The phylum Bacteroidota includes Gram-negative rods classified into four orders - Bacteroidales, Cytophagales, Flavobacteriales, and Sphingobacteriales.

The order Bacteroidales primarily comprises obligately anaerobic, fermentative bacteria.

Notably, the genus Bacteroides constitutes a significant portion of the microbial biom...
