Its ID gene: the stretch scientists read to tell microbes apart. Each bar is one letter of its DNA. Every species has its own order of letters, so the pattern works like a fingerprint. Close relatives share most of it.

16S rRNA gene, V4 region: the 253 letters between the standard primers (515F/806R), which are the same in every species. One reference sequence; strains can differ by a letter or two. NCBI NR_169317.1

Its genome

Genome · 2.5 million letters · 65% G+C
Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M
⋮ 697 shorter
Hankyongella ginsenosidimutans 2.5M
⋮ 1,654 longer
Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M

Small for a gut microbe: longer than 30% of the 2,354 we have genomes for.

65% G+C, higher than 86% of gut microbes.

To scale: if its ID gene were 1 cm long, its genome would stretch 17 meters. Yours would stretch 21 kilometers. One reference genome; strains vary. NCBI GCF_977524365.1
