Histophilus somni str. UOC-EPH-KLM-08

Histophilus somni str. UOC-EPH-KLM-08 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that demonstrates both aerobic and facultative anaerobic growth capabilities. This microbe thrives optimally at a temperature of 35.0°C, suggesting a preference for conditions typically found in warm-blooded hosts. Its habitat is primarily host-associated, indicating a close relationship with its environmental niche within living organisms. The dual oxygen requirement of H. somni str. UOC-EPH-KLM-08 allows it to adapt to varying oxygen levels within host tissues, which can be crucial for survival in different physiological environments. This flexibility may enhance its ability to colonize diverse niches within the host, reflecting its potential role in host-associated microbiomes. Given its specific growth temperature and habitat, H. somni str. UOC-EPH-KLM-08 may occupy a significant ecological role in the microbiota of its host, contributing to the complex interactions within the microbial community. Understanding the characteristics of this strain can provide insights into its potential functional roles in health and disease dynamics within host organisms, particularly in the context of microbial ecology and host interactions. Further research may elucidate its specific contributions to the host microbiome and overall host health.
