Bacteroidetes / Bacteroidota

Navigation

Contents

Bacteria with identical genetic makeup can exhibit a wide range of traits. This diversity is particularly evident in Bacteroidetes / Bacteroidota, a significant group within the human gut microbiota. These bacteria display various shapes, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this diversity remain largely unknown
Bornet et al. 2025 Cell Reports 44: 115844

Bacteroidetes is one of the most abundant phyla (∼20% of all Intestine / Gastrointestinal Tract (Gut / GIT) bacteria)
Lee et al. 2022g Journal of Microbiology 60(2) 215-223

Phylum Bacteroidetes comprises aerobic, [Anaerobes / Anaerobic organism](brain://4Kyma1G4NkitZwNhlecEDw/AnaerobesAn…
