Campylobacter lari subsp. concheus LMG 11760 str. LMG11760

Campylobacter lari subsp. concheus LMG 11760 (strain LMG11760) is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and a microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This organism is notable for its single-cell and chain arrangement, which can influence its behavior in various environments. Campylobacter lari subsp. concheus possesses flagella, although it is non-motile, which may affect its interactions within its habitat. This strain thrives in mesophilic conditions, signifying its adaptability to moderate temperature ranges. It has a single replicon and features a typical Gram-negative structure with two membranes, which can be relevant for understanding its physiology and potential interactions with other microorganisms. C. lari subsp. concheus is classified as free-living, indicating that it does not rely on a host organism for survival. This biotic relationship allows it to occupy multiple habitats, contributing to its ecological versatility. The accessions for this strain include NZ_CP007771.1, which can be useful for researchers looking to explore its genetic and phenotypic characteristics further. In summary, Campylobacter lari subsp. concheus LMG 11760 exhibits distinctive traits such as its microaerophilic nature and free-living status, which may facilitate its survival in diverse environments. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for appreciating its ecological role and potential impact on microbial communities.
