Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum str. ChDC F311

Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum str. ChDC F311 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in anaerobic conditions, with an optimal growth temperature of 37.0°C. This strain is associated with host environments, indicating a close relationship with living organisms, which may suggest its role in host-associated microbiomes. As a member of the genus Fusobacterium, this subspecies is part of a larger group of bacteria known for their diverse roles in various biological contexts, including human health and disease. The anaerobic nature of F. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum str. ChDC F311 highlights its adaptation to environments where oxygen is limited, making it well-suited for colonization of specific niches within host organisms. Further examination of the ecological roles of F. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum str. ChDC F311 may provide insights into its interactions within microbial communities, particularly in relation to health and disease states. The presence of such bacteria in host-associated environments could influence microbial diversity and stability, and may play a role in the metabolic processes occurring within these ecosystems. Understanding the specific functions and interactions of this strain can contribute to a broader comprehension of host-microbe dynamics and the implications for host health.
