Campylobacter concisus str. Lasto28.99

Campylobacter concisus strain Lasto28.99 is a Gram-negative microbe characterized by its spirilla shape and tendency to form chains or occur as singles. This organism is classified as microaerophilic, indicating that it requires reduced levels of oxygen for optimal growth, which is typical for many members of the Campylobacter genus. C. concisus strain Lasto28.99 is primarily host-associated, suggesting that it resides within specific hosts rather than in environmental reservoirs. The microaerophilic nature of C. concisus may influence its ecological interactions within the host, as this oxygen requirement can affect its competition with other microbial species in the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, the chain or single cell arrangement may facilitate unique interactions with host tissues or other microbes, impacting its survival and potential roles in the host microbiome. Understanding the specific habitat and metabolic needs of C. concisus strain Lasto28.99 may provide insights into its function and significance within the gastrointestinal ecosystem, potentially shedding light on its contributions to host health or dysbiosis.
