Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M
⋮ 844 shorter
Treponema average 2.7M
Treponema vincentii 2.7M
⋮ 1,507 longer
Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M
Mid-sized for a gut microbe: longer than 36% of the 2,354 we have genomes for.
46% G+C, higher than 45% of gut microbes.
To scale: if its ID gene were 1 cm long, its genome would stretch 18 meters. Yours would stretch 21 kilometers. One reference genome; strains vary. NCBI GCF_000412995.1

What it can do
Makes
- Can make butyrate A short-chain fatty acid that feeds the cells lining the colon.
- Can make propionate A short-chain fatty acid, mostly used by the liver.
- Can make lactic acid What yogurt bacteria make; other microbes turn it into butyrate.
Not seen in its genomes: ferment fiber, eat inulin, eat resistant starch, eat pectin, use lactose, feed on gut mucus, change bile acids, make B vitamins, make hydrogen sulfide, make methane.

What’s typical · a description, not a comparison
In healthy guts
Not found in the healthy people we have. None of the healthy whole-genome samples carried it, so there is nothing typical to describe yet.
Compared within studies that had both
In conditions
Not yet compared in a study with healthy people. A condition shows up here once a study has people with it and healthy people of its own, 10 or more of each.
