Mageeibacillus indolicus type strain for laboratory research. This non-motile, obligately anaerobic bacterium was isolated from the human endometrium and is provided as a reference strain for taxonomic, genomic, and physiological studies. Culture and handle under strict anaerobic conditions and appropriate biosafety procedures.
