Classification

Higher order taxa

Bacteria - Terrabacteria group - Firmicutes - Negativicutes - Veillonellales - Veillonellaceae - Veillonella

Species

Veillonella parvula
Type strain: ATCC 10790, ATCC 17742, CCUG 5123, DSM 2008, JCM 12972, KCTC 5019, NCTC 11810, Prevot Te 3, Prévot Te3, ATCC 10790, Te 3, VTT E-001737

Species name and type strain (consult LPSN http://www.bacterio.net/index.html for this information)

Description and significance

Give a general description of the species (e.g. where/when was it first discovered, where is it commonly found, has it been cultured, functional role, type of bacterium [Gram+/-], morphology, etc.) and explain why it is important to study this microorganism. Examples of citations [1], [2]

Genome structure

Select a strain for which genome information (e.g. size, plasmids, distinct genes, etc.) is available.

Cell structure and metabolism

Cell wall, biofilm formation, motility, metabolic functions.

Ecology

Aerobe/anaerobe, habitat (location in the oral cavity, potential other environments) and microbe/host interactions.

Pathology

Do these microorganisms cause disease in the oral cavity or elsewhere?

  • Periodontitis and dental caries
  • Bacterial vaginosis
  • Osteomyelitus
  • Endocarditis

Application to biotechnology

Bioengineering, biotechnologically relevant enzyme/compound production, drug targets,…

Current research

Summarise some of the most recent discoveries regarding this species.
