Bacteroidota/Chlorobiota group: NCBI 68336, [clade]

Back to details

| Bacteroidetes/Chlorobi group| CFB/Chlorobi group| CFB/Green sulfur bacteria group| Cytophagales/Green sulfur bacteria group

1. Gut microbiota: Bacteria belonging to the phylum Bacteroidota are prominent members of the human gut microbiota. They play crucial roles in maintaining gut homeostasis, digestion, nutrient metabolism, and immune modulation. Bacteroidota species are known for their ability to degrade complex polysaccharides from dietary fiber, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other metabolites that can influence host physiology and health.

2. Symbiotic relationships: Some Bacteroidota species form symbiotic relationships with their hosts, such as mutualistic associations in the gut or commensal relationships on mucosal surfaces. These symbiotic interactions can contribute to host nutrition, protection against pathogens, and the development and regulation of the host immune system.

3. Pathogenesis: While many Bacteroidota species are commensal or beneficial, certain members of this phylum have pathogenic potential and can cause opportunistic infections in humans. Bacteroidota-associated infections may involve various sites, including the skin, oral cavity, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract. Common Bacteroidota-associated infections include abscesses, wound infections, periodontal diseases, and intra-abdominal infections.

4. Anaerobic metabolism: Both Bacteroidota and Chlorobiota species are predominantly anaerobic bacteria, meaning they thrive in environments with limited or no oxygen. They are commonly found in anaerobic habitats such as the human gut, soil, sediments, and aquatic environments.

5. Environmental roles: Chlorobiota bacteria are primarily photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments. They utilize bacteriochlorophyll pigments to conduct anoxygenic photosynthesis, contributing to carbon and sulfur cycling in anoxic environments. While less studied in the context of human health, Chlorobiota bacteria may indirectly influence environmental factors that impact human health, such as water quality and nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems.
