Citrobacter youngae ATCC 29220

Citrobacter youngae ATCC 29220 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This species is motile due to the presence of flagella, which contributes to its ability to navigate its environment effectively. The strain is noted for having a single replicon, which is significant in understanding its genetic structure and replication mechanism. The genomic sequence of C. youngae ATCC 29220 is accessible under the accession number ABWL00000000.2, providing a resource for further genomic analysis and research. In terms of its ecological role, Citrobacter species, including C. youngae, are commonly found in various environments, including soil and water. They are known to participate in nutrient cycling and can be involved in the degradation of pollutants. This bacterium may also have implications in clinical settings, as members of the Citrobacter genus can be opportunistic pathogens. Understanding the traits of C. youngae ATCC 29220 can provide insights into both its ecological functions and potential impacts on human health.
