Mid-sized for a gut microbe: longer than 64% of the 2,354 we have genomes for.
49% G+C, higher than 54% of gut microbes.
To scale: if its ID gene were 1 cm long, its genome would stretch 25 meters. Yours would stretch 21 kilometers. One reference genome; strains vary. NCBI GCF_022870925.1

On average, a sliver, under 0.01% of the microbes in a healthy gut.
By age and sex
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.
