Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 414

Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 414 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and presence of flagella, which facilitate mobility. This microorganism is a heterotroph, relying on organic compounds for energy, and exhibits a microaerophilic oxygen requirement, thriving in environments with low oxygen levels. In terms of habitat, C. jejuni subsp. jejuni 414 is found in multiple environments, indicating its adaptability. The bacterium typically exists as single cells or in chains, which may influence its interaction with other organisms in its environment. It possesses two replicons, which are essential for its genetic stability and replication. C. jejuni subsp. jejuni 414 has a mesophilic temperature range, with its optimal growth temperature recorded at 0°C, suggesting that it can survive in cooler conditions compared to many other mesophilic organisms. This adaptability to lower temperatures may provide ecological advantages in various habitats where temperature fluctuations occur. As a free-living organism, C. jejuni subsp. jejuni 414 plays a significant role in its ecosystem, likely contributing to nutrient cycling and interactions within microbial communities. Its ability to thrive in diverse habitats while maintaining specific energy and oxygen requirements highlights its ecological versatility, making it an important species in microbiological and environmental studies.
