1. Environmental Distribution: Cytophagaceae bacteria are predominantly environmental and are often found in aquatic habitats, including freshwater and marine environments. Some species may also be present in soil.

2. Role in Organic Matter Decomposition: Many bacteria within the Cytophagaceae family are known for their ability to degrade complex organic compounds. They play a role in the decomposition of organic matter in the environment, contributing to nutrient cycling.

3. Limited Clinical Associations: While Cytophagaceae are primarily considered environmental bacteria, there are rare reports of their isolation from clinical specimens. In some cases, they have been associated with opportunistic infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions.

4. Enzyme Production: Some Cytophagaceae bacteria are known to produce enzymes with potential applications in biotechnology and industry.

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
