Helicobacter pullorum strain 229334/12

Helicobacter pullorum strain 229334/12 is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium primarily found in the cecum of various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (domestic chickens), Aves (birds), Anser (geese), and Mammalia (mammals). This strain has been isolated from coastal and estuarine soil environments, indicating its ecological versatility and potential role in the microbial dynamics of these habitats. The organism is characterized by a single replicon, which is a fundamental aspect of its genetic architecture. The strain is cataloged under the accession number JNOC00000000.1, facilitating further research and identification within microbial databases. The presence of Helicobacter pullorum in diverse hosts, particularly those associated with agricultural settings, suggests potential implications for both human health and animal husbandry. Its microaerophilic nature indicates a preference for environments with low oxygen levels, which is consistent with its habitat in the cecum where anaerobic conditions prevail. Understanding the ecological role of Helicobacter pullorum strain 229334/12 can provide insights into microbial interactions within the gastrointestinal tracts of its hosts and the surrounding soil ecosystems. The bacterium's adaptability to coastal and estuarine soils may further imply its involvement in nutrient cycling and the maintenance of microbial diversity in these environments.
