1. Environmental Roles:

   • Many bacteria within Cytophagales are environmental bacteria commonly found in soil, water, and other habitats. They play roles in the breakdown of organic matter and nutrient cycling in ecosystems.

2. Decomposition and Detoxification:

   • Some species within Cytophagales are involved in the decomposition of complex organic compounds. They contribute to the recycling of nutrients and the detoxification of environmental substances.

3. Bioremediation Potential:

   • Certain bacteria within Cytophagales have been studied for their potential applications in bioremediation. They may have the ability to degrade pollutants, contributing to environmental cleanup efforts.

4. Cellulose Degradation:

   • Some members of Cytophagales are known for their ability to degrade cellulose, a complex polysaccharide found in plant cell walls. This capability may be relevant in the context of plant material decomposition in environmental ecosystems.

5. Limited Studies on Human Health:

   • While bacteria within Cytophagales are ecologically important, their direct impacts on human health are not as well-documented as some other bacterial groups. They are generally considered part of the normal microbial community in environmental niches.

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
