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_042673.1

Its genome

Genome · 4.0 million letters · 60% G+C
Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M
⋮ 1,624 shorter
Phaeobacter italicus 4.0M
⋮ 727 longer
Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M

Large for a gut microbe: longer than 69% of the 2,354 we have genomes for.

60% G+C, higher than 75% of gut microbes.

To scale: if its ID gene were 1 cm long, its genome would stretch 26 meters. Yours would stretch 21 kilometers. One reference genome; strains vary. NCBI GCF_019801785.1
