Campylobacter concisus UNSW2

Campylobacter concisus UNSW2 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This organism is commonly found in host-associated habitats and is known for its distinctive arrangement in chains or as singles. C. concisus UNSW2 possesses a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, a feature typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Interestingly, this species does not exhibit mobility, despite the presence of flagella. It operates primarily under mesophilic temperature conditions, suggesting an optimal growth range that aligns with typical warm-blooded hosts. The biotic relationship of C. concisus UNSW2 is classified as free-living, indicating that it can thrive independently in its environment. The genetic sequence of C. concisus UNSW2 is cataloged under the accession number ANNJ00000000.1, providing a reference for further research and analysis. Understanding the specific traits of C. concisus UNSW2 can help elucidate its ecological roles, particularly in relation to its host-associated lifestyle. Given its microaerophilic nature, this bacterium may play a significant role in the microbial dynamics within the gastrointestinal tracts of its hosts, potentially influencing gut health and disease.
