1. Radiation resistance: Deinococcota bacteria, particularly species within the genus Deinococcus, are known for their remarkable resistance to ionizing radiation, UV radiation, desiccation, and other extreme environmental conditions. This resistance is due to their highly efficient DNA repair mechanisms, which enable them to survive exposure to high levels of radiation that would be lethal to most other organisms. While the radiation resistance of Deinococcota bacteria has important implications for their ecological roles and adaptation to extreme environments, it is not directly relevant to human health impacts.

2. Biotechnological applications: Deinococcota bacteria, especially Deinococcus radiodurans, have attracted interest for their potential biotechnological applications. Their robustness and ability to withstand harsh conditions make them promising candidates for various biotechnological processes, such as bioremediation of radioactive or contaminated environments, production of biofuels and bioplastics, and synthesis of valuable biomolecules. While these applications are primarily focused on environmental or industrial processes rather than direct human health impacts, they highlight the diverse metabolic capabilities and potential practical uses of Deinococcota bacteria.

3. Genomic stability: Deinococcota bacteria possess highly stable genomes, despite their exposure to DNA-damaging agents such as radiation. Understanding the mechanisms underlying genomic stability in Deinococcota bacteria has implications for genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and biomedicine. While these applications may have indirect benefits for human health, such as improved methods for gene editing and genetic engineering, they are not directly related to health impacts of Deinococcota bacteria on humans.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
