Bartonella koehlerae C-29

Bartonella koehlerae C-29 is characterized as a microaerophilic bacterium, which indicates that it requires lower levels of oxygen for optimal growth compared to atmospheric concentrations. This adaptation is important for its survival in specific ecological niches where oxygen levels may be limited. The bacterium possesses flagella, allowing for motility, which can facilitate its movement within host environments or substrates. Bartonella koehlerae C-29 has a singular replicon, suggesting a streamlined genetic structure that may be indicative of its specific adaptations to its ecological niche. The genome of this strain is accessible under the accession number AHPL00000000.1, providing a resource for further genomic studies and comparative analyses within the Bartonella genus. Understanding the characteristics of Bartonella koehlerae C-29 can provide insights into its ecological role and potential interactions with hosts. Its microaerophilic nature combined with motility may enable it to inhabit environments that are not accessible to other bacteria, potentially influencing microbial community dynamics. This bacterium's adaptations highlight the diverse strategies employed by microorganisms to thrive in varied ecological contexts.
