Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z str. ATCC55618

Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z str. ATCC55618 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in various cell arrangements including chains, pairs, and singles. This organism is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It demonstrates optimal growth at 37.0°C, which is consistent with the temperature of many mammalian hosts, indicating its adaptation to host-associated habitats. The facultative anaerobic nature of A. succinogenes suggests its potential versatility in metabolic pathways, enabling it to utilize different substrates depending on the oxygen availability in its environment. While specific ecological roles and interactions are not detailed here, the association of this bacterium with hosts may implicate it in various biological processes, possibly including fermentation or other metabolic activities that benefit the host. Given its cellular arrangement and growth conditions, A. succinogenes 130Z str. ATCC55618 may play a significant role in the microbial communities within host organisms, potentially influencing nutrient cycling and microbial dynamics. This adaptability highlights its importance in understanding microbial interactions in host-associated environments.
