Background Bacteroides salanitronis (strain DSM 18170 / JCM 13567 / BL78) is a strictly anaerobic, chemoorganotroph, non-spore-forming, non-motile Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the cecum of a healthy chicken. The cells are generally rod-shaped (0.4-0.7 x 0.8-5.6 um) with rounded ends and are usually arranged singly or in pairs. The temperature optimum is 37 degrees Celsius. B. salanitronis is able to ferment glucose, mannose, sucrose, maltose, arabinose, cellobiose, lactose, xylose and raffinose. It does not utilize trehalose, glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol or melezitose; rhamnose and salicin are fermented weakly. Growth is possible in the presence of bile. Major fermentation products from broth (1% peptone, 1% yeast extract, and 1% glucose each (w/v)) are acetic acid and succinic acid, whereas isovaleric acid is produced in small amounts. Although B. salanitronis is non-motile, five genes associated with motility having been found in the genome. Many Bacteroides species are common inhabitants of the intestine where they help to degrade complex molecules such as polysaccharides or transform steroids. They also play a role as beneficent protectors of the gut against pathogenic microorganisms. (Adapted from:http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/1704212/536 ). (EBI Integr8)
