Actinomyces gaoshouyii str. pika_114

Actinomyces gaoshouyii strain pika_114 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its rod shape and non-motile nature. This organism exhibits a facultative aerobe/anaerobe oxygen requirement, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. The optimal growth temperature for A. gaoshouyii strain pika_114 is 29°C, which positions it within the mesophilic temperature range. This strain has a single replicon and does not form spores, indicating a stable genetic structure and a reliance on vegetative reproduction for proliferation. The accession number for this strain is NZ_CP020468.1, which provides a reference for genetic and genomic studies. From a biological and ecological perspective, the traits of A. gaoshouyii strain pika_114 suggest that it may play a role in various environments, including soils and the gastrointestinal tracts of animals, where conditions fluctuate between aerobic and anaerobic. Its mesophilic nature indicates that it is well-suited to moderate temperature habitats, which are common in many ecosystems. Understanding the behavior and characteristics of this bacterium could provide insights into its ecological roles, interactions with other microorganisms, and potential applications in biotechnology or medicine.
