Large for a gut microbe: longer than 72% of the 2,354 we have genomes for.

46% G+C, higher than 46% of gut microbes.

To scale: if its ID gene were 1 cm long, its genome would stretch 27 meters. Yours would stretch 21 kilometers. One reference genome; strains vary. NCBI GCF_025567015.1

Capabilities, not measurements of anyone's gut

What it can do

We don't have capability data for this microbe yet: it isn't in AGORA2's genome models, BacDive's lab tests or NJC19's published research. That's different from “not seen”: nobody has checked.

Compared within studies that had both

In conditions

Compared with healthy people in the same studies, it’s less common in 12 conditions and more common in none. 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.
