Streptococcus agalactiae FSL C1-487

Streptococcus agalactiae FSL C1-487 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its cocci shape and arrangement in chains or pairs. It is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This bacterium is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which aligns with the typical body temperature of warm-blooded hosts, suggesting its adaptation to life within a host-associated habitat. S. agalactiae FSL C1-487 does not exhibit mobility, as it lacks flagella, and it possesses a single membrane and one replicon. Its biotic relationship is noted as free-living, indicating that while it can associate with hosts, it does not exclusively rely on them for survival. The accession number for this strain is ANCK00000000.1, which provides a reference for genomic and taxonomic studies. The ecological insight into Streptococcus agalactiae FSL C1-487 highlights its role in the microbial communities associated with hosts, where it may contribute to the balance of microflora. Its facultative anaerobic nature suggests an ability to adapt to varying oxygen levels, possibly enhancing its survivability in diverse environments, including those within the host. This adaptability may also influence its interactions with other microbial species and its potential implications in host health and disease.
