1. Environmental Bacteria: Myxobacteria are primarily found in soil environments. They are known for their ability to move as groups, forming swarms, and exhibiting predatory behavior toward other microorganisms. Myxobacteria play roles in the decomposition of organic matter in soil ecosystems.

2. Secondary Metabolites: Some myxobacteria are known to produce secondary metabolites, including antimicrobial compounds. These compounds may have applications in medicine or biotechnology. However, the direct impact on human health is more related to the potential discovery and development of bioactive compounds rather than pathogenic effects.

3. Biotechnological Applications: Myxobacteria are of interest in biotechnological research due to their ability to produce bioactive compounds with potential pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. Researchers are exploring the biotechnological potential of myxobacteria for the production of antibiotics and other useful molecules.

4. Limited Pathogenicity to Humans: Myxobacteria are generally considered non-pathogenic to humans. They do not typically cause diseases in humans, and the focus of research on myxobacteria is often related to their ecological roles and biotechnological potential rather than health impacts.

Legend

• 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
