Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain 04-2548_100

Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain 04-2548_100 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exists primarily as single cells and is categorized as a facultative anaerobe. This strain does not undergo sporulation and is known to be a heterotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds. It thrives in aquatic habitats, indicative of its ecological niche, where it likely plays a role in nutrient cycling and the decomposition of organic matter. The optimal growth temperature for strain 04-2548_100 is around 20.0°C, suggesting a preference for temperate aquatic environments. This characteristic aligns with the general ecological adaptations of many Vibrio species, which are commonly found in coastal and estuarine waters, particularly in regions where organic material is abundant. Given its traits, this strain may contribute to the microbial diversity within its habitat and participate in the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems, potentially influencing both microbial community structure and biogeochemical processes. Further studies could elucidate its specific interactions within the microbiome of aquatic systems, highlighting its ecological significance in nutrient cycling and organic matter degradation.
