Campylobacter iguaniorum str. 1485E

Campylobacter iguaniorum str. 1485E is a microaerophilic bacterium, indicating that it requires reduced levels of oxygen for optimal growth and metabolism. This trait is significant as microaerophiles often inhabit environments where oxygen is present but at lower concentrations, such as the gastrointestinal tracts of their hosts. The genomic structure of Campylobacter iguaniorum str. 1485E is characterized by the presence of two replicons, which typically suggests a complex genome organization that may contribute to its adaptability and survival in various environments. The organism is documented with two specific accession numbers: NZ_CP009044.1 and NZ_CP009043.1, which refer to its genomic data available in public databases. Understanding the genomic characteristics and oxygen requirements of Campylobacter iguaniorum str. 1485E is crucial for studying its ecological role, particularly in relation to its potential interactions with host organisms and the environment. As a member of the Campylobacter genus, it likely plays a role in the microbiome of reptiles or similar hosts, contributing to the overall microbial community dynamics. The microaerophilic nature of this bacterium suggests it may also be involved in nutrient cycling within its habitat, where specific oxygen levels are maintained. Further research could elucidate its specific ecological impacts and interactions with other microorganisms in its environment.
