Mannheimia sp. USDA-ARS-USMARC-1261

Mannheimia sp. USDA-ARS-USMARC-1261 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement, indicating it thrives in environments with lower oxygen levels than are present in the atmosphere. This bacterium possesses a single replicon, which contributes to its genetic stability and replication efficiency. The specific accession number for Mannheimia sp. USDA-ARS-USMARC-1261 is NZ_CP006942.1, which provides a reference for genomic studies and further research on this organism. The microaerophilic nature of Mannheimia sp. suggests its adaptation to specific ecological niches, potentially including the respiratory tracts of animals or other environments where oxygen concentration is limited. In terms of ecological insights, the presence of microaerophilic bacteria like Mannheimia sp. is essential for nutrient cycling and maintaining the health of their respective ecosystems. Their metabolic processes can influence the microbial community structure, as they may interact with other microorganisms in the environment, contributing to the overall dynamics of microbial populations. Understanding the traits and behaviors of Mannheimia sp. USDA-ARS-USMARC-1261 can provide valuable information for research in microbiology, particularly in studying its role in animal health and potential applications in agriculture or biotechnology.
