HAMAP: Bacteroides vulgatus (strain ATCC 8482 / DSM 1447 / NCTC 11154) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Bacteroides vulgatus (strain ATCC 8482 / DSM 1447 / NCTC 11154)
Species code: BACV8
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Bacteroidetes; Bacteroidia; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidaceae; Bacteroides (TaxID: 435590) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Bacteroides vulgatus is a member of the normal distal human gut microbiota. The distal gut microbiota contain more bacterial cells than all of our body's other microbial communities combined. More than 90% of phylogenetic types belong to two divisions, the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes, with the remaining types distributed among eight other divisions. B.vulgatus is the only sequenced Bacteroidetes that possesses a gene coding for a xylanase. It has the largest and most complete set of enzymes that target pectin.
Properties: Presence of flagella: No
Human pathogen: No
Interaction: Animal commensal in Mammalia
Number of membranes: 2
Number of inteins:0
Statistics: Number of BACV8 entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3982 (259 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3723 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
