Aliarcobacter cryaerophilus ATCC 43158 str. LMG 9904

Aliarcobacter cryaerophilus ATCC 43158 str. LMG 9904 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its curved rod shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This species is motile, possessing flagella that facilitate its movement. Genomic analysis reveals that it contains a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic structure. The strain has been assigned the accession number NZ_CP021073.1, which is relevant for researchers seeking to access its genetic information through genomic databases. Understanding the genomic architecture and traits of A. cryaerophilus can provide insights into its ecological interactions and potential roles within various environments. Moreover, the microaerophilic nature of A. cryaerophilus suggests that it thrives in environments with reduced oxygen levels, which could include certain animal gastrointestinal tracts or specific aquatic habitats. This adaptation allows it to occupy niches that are less accessible to strictly aerobic or anaerobic microorganisms. Consequently, A. cryaerophilus may play a role in the microbial community dynamics of these environments, potentially influencing nutrient cycling and interactions with other microbial species. This understanding enhances the broader ecological perspective regarding the function and significance of microaerophilic bacteria in diverse ecosystems.
