Introduction | Bacteroides is a group of promising candidates that has attracted major attentions from scientists as model organisms or community for the investigations of the intestinal microbiota field, due to their powerful adaption characteristics in the host and especially the underlying benefits. Bacteroides is a genus of Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacteria. Bacteroides species are non endospore-forming bacilli, and may be either motile or nonmotile, depending on the species. Bacteroides; order is the most abundant group of Gram-negative bacteria which flourish in the human intestine at high densities of 109-1011 CFU per gram of feces, and constitutes over 30 species which are more closely related than members in other bacteria orders. And, Bacteroides is considered as one of the major genera of the core microbiota module, of which species with relative abundance of over 1% refers to B. uniformis, B. vulgatus, B. caccae, and B. thetaiotaomicron. In addition to the unique physiological characteristics and the special ecological dynamics, Bacteroides species are under investigations for their underlying beneficial dialogues with the host. Bacteroides species to be considered as next-generation probiotics, and the application of which in prevention or intervention in dysbiosis of gut microbiota and the associated disorders requires further investigations in the modulatory mechanisms and safety evaluation. Bacteroides is one of the dominant contributors of SCFA among the intestinal commensals, mostly in the form of acetate and propionate. Accumulated acetate blocks the transportation of toxins between gut lumen and blood, while propionate is capable of inducing the apoptosis of human colon carcinoma cells, and thus avoids the formation of tumors. Moreover, Vitamin K, which is mainly synthesized by gut microbiota candidates such as Bacteroides, can help prevent or treat osteoporosis by increasing bone mineral density. |

For long-term storage, Bacteroides ovatus should be kept in a freeze-dried state at -80°C to preserve viability. It is crucial to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain the integrity of the bacteria.
Yes, genetic manipulation of Bacteroides ovatus is possible and often employed to study gene function and interaction within its genome. Techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 can be used for targeted gene editing.
Bacteroides ovatus is commonly used in studies focused on the gut microbiome, its interactions with the host immune system, and its role in metabolizing complex carbohydrates and influencing gut barrier function.
The purity of Bacteroides ovatus is rigorously verified through genomic sequencing and contamination checks to ensure that the cultures are free from unwanted microbes. This verification ensures researchers receive high-quality, reliable cultures for their studies.
