Prevotella pectinovora
No reference ID-gene sequence in NCBI yet Data sources
Mid-sized for a gut microbe: longer than 53% of the 2,354 we have genomes for.
48% G+C, higher than 51% of gut microbes.
To scale: if its ID gene were 1 cm long, its genome would stretch 22 meters. Yours would stretch 21 kilometers. One reference genome; strains vary. NCBI GCF_041323955.1

- 3rd largest Faecalibacterium prausnitzii 4.7%
- 4th largest Bacteroides uniformis 3.2%

- top 10% Prevotella pectinovora 0.03%
- 2,169 other microbes, each a sliver 56.6%
- 15.6%
On average, 0.03% of the microbes in a healthy gut: larger than 90% of species’ slices.
Every group, drawn the same way. Only some samples record age or sex, so each group says how many people it comes from. Tap one to see it above.
In conditions
Compared with healthy people in the same studies, it’s less common in 1 condition and more common in 1 condition. 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.
