Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 3 str. JL03

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 3 str. JL03 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in a host-associated habitat. This organism is categorized as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It exhibits a unique cell arrangement, often found in chains, pairs, or as singles. Notably, A. pleuropneumoniae str. JL03 does not possess mobility, although it has flagella. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is 37°C, aligning with its mesophilic characteristics. It has a single replicon and is characterized by a double membrane structure, which is common among Gram-negative bacteria. This strain is recognized for its symbiotic biotic relationship, indicating its potential role in interacting positively with its host. Despite its classification within a pathogenic genus, A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 3 str. JL03 is noted for its lack of pathogenicity. This trait may suggest its role in a balanced microbiome associated with a host rather than as a disease-causing agent. The accession number for this strain is NC_010278.1, which can be used for further genomic reference. Understanding the characteristics of A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 3 str. JL03 contributes to insights into its ecological role within the host organism, emphasizing the importance of non-pathogenic strains in maintaining microbial balance and health in the host environment.
