Genome sizes · 2 Fusicatenibacter species

Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M

⋮ 1,531 shorter than any Fusicatenibacter

Fusicatenibacter saccharivorans 3.8M

Fusicatenibacter faecihominis 3.9M

⋮ 769 longer than any Fusicatenibacter

Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M

Fusicatenibacter genomes run from 3.8M to 3.9M: large for gut microbes.

One reference genome per species; strains vary.

Their ID genes, lined up: shared stretches form solid stripes

Fewer than two of its species have a reference ID-gene sequence in NCBI yet, so there's nothing to line up Data sources

What its species can do

A species counts when most of its strains can. Not measured in anyone's gut. 1 of its 2 species isn't in either source yet.

Compared within studies that had both

In conditions

Compared with healthy people in the same studies, it’s less common in 20 conditions and more common in none. Only studies that had both are counted.

A difference is an association: it doesn’t mean this microbe causes, prevents or treats any of these.
