Vibrio parahaemolyticus str. Vp152

Vibrio parahaemolyticus str. Vp152 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exists as single cells and is characterized by its nonsporulating nature. This strain demonstrates a facultative anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to thrive in diverse oxygen conditions, and it relies on heterotrophic processes for energy acquisition. Vp152 exhibits optimal growth at a temperature of 20.0°C, suggesting a preference for cooler aquatic environments, which aligns with its habitat in marine ecosystems. The ability to thrive in aquatic habitats indicates that Vp152 may play a role in the microbial dynamics of marine environments, potentially contributing to nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. Understanding the traits of Vp152 can aid in elucidating its ecological functions and interactions within its aquatic habitat.
