Campylobacter concisus UNSWCS

Campylobacter concisus UNSWCS is a gram-negative bacterium characterized by its microaerophilic oxygen requirement and spirilla shape. This organism is typically found in chains or as singles. It possesses a single replicon and has two membranes, which is a common feature in gram-negative bacteria. C. concisus is notably free-living, indicating that it can exist independently in its environment rather than relying on a host. This bacterium thrives in mesophilic temperature ranges, suggesting it prefers moderate temperatures for optimal growth. The presence of flagella allows for motility, although the organism itself is described as non-motile in the context provided. C. concisus is host-associated, which implies that it has a relationship with other organisms, potentially including humans or animals. Understanding the ecological role of Campylobacter concisus UNSWCS can provide insights into its behavior and interactions within its habitat. Its microaerophilic nature suggests a preference for environments with low oxygen levels, which may influence its distribution and ecological interactions. Overall, the characteristics of Campylobacter concisus UNSWCS highlight its adaptation to specific ecological niches, leading to potential implications for studying its role in microbial communities and its impact on host organisms. The accession number for this strain is ANNG00000000.1, which may facilitate further research into its genetic and functional aspects.
