Salmonella bongori serovar 48:z35:- str. N19-0781

Salmonella bongori serovar 48:z35:- str. N19-0781 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized as a chemoorganotroph, utilizing organic compounds as its primary energy source. This strain exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, indicating optimal growth at moderate temperatures typically between 20°C and 45°C. Its cellular arrangement is primarily in pairs or singles, which is a common characteristic among many bacteria. This strain possesses mobility due to the presence of flagella, enabling it to navigate its environment effectively. Salmonella bongori is noted for its free-living biotic relationship, suggesting that it does not rely on a host organism for survival and can thrive independently in various ecological niches. The genome of strain N19-0781 contains a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic structure and replication mechanisms. The accession number for this strain is VCNN00000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic studies. Understanding the ecological role of Salmonella bongori, particularly in its free-living state, is crucial for grasping its potential interactions within microbial communities and the environment. This could have implications for food safety and public health, given the broader context of Salmonella species as pathogens in humans and animals.
