Brachyspira hampsonii 30446

Brachyspira hampsonii 30446 is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the spirilla shape category. It is a chemoheterotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds, and typically resides in the intestinal microflora of animals. This organism exhibits mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella, which enhances its ability to navigate within its habitat. The optimal growth temperature for Brachyspira hampsonii 30446 is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to the thermal conditions often found in animal intestines. This adaptation suggests a specialized ecological niche, allowing the bacterium to thrive in the warm environments typical of its hosts. Brachyspira hampsonii 30446 is nonsporulating and has a single replicon, indicating a simpler genetic organization compared to some other bacteria that may possess multiple replicons. The accession number for this strain is ALNZ00000000.1, which allows for further reference and study within microbial databases. The presence of Brachyspira hampsonii 30446 in animal intestinal microflora highlights its potential role in the complex ecosystem of the gut, where it may interact with other microbial species. Understanding its specific functions and interactions could provide insights into gut health and the overall balance of microbial communities in animals.
