Kingella kingae ATCC 23330

Kingella kingae ATCC 23330 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism and derives energy as a chemoheterotroph. This organism thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which is indicative of its adaptation to a host-associated environment. K. kingae is known to inhabit multiple ecological niches, reflecting its versatile lifestyle and potential interactions within diverse microbial communities. As a facultative anaerobe, K. kingae can grow in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, allowing it to exploit various habitats where oxygen availability may fluctuate. This adaptability may contribute to its persistence in different environments, including those within the human body as well as in other ecological settings. Understanding the metabolic capabilities and ecological adaptability of Kingella kingae ATCC 23330 can provide insights into its role in microbial ecosystems and its potential interactions with other microorganisms. Further research could elucidate the specific conditions that favor its growth and the implications for its ecological contributions.
