Description

Helicobacter pylori Aklavik117 is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and singular cellular arrangement. This organism is known to inhabit host-associated environments, suggesting a close relationship with its host. Notably, it possesses flagella, which can aid in motility; however, it has been reported as non-motile in this context. Aklavik117 thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C, indicating its mesophilic nature and potential adaptation to warm-blooded hosts. It has a biotic relationship classified as free-living, which may imply that while it is often found within a host, it can also exist independently under certain conditions. The bacterium is characterized by a single replicon and has two membranes, typical of gram-negative organisms. The accession number for Helicobacter pylori Aklavik117 is NC_019562.1, which provides a reference for genetic and genomic studies. Understanding the ecological role of Helicobacter pylori Aklavik117 can provide insights into its interactions within host systems and its potential impact on host health. Given its free-living characteristic and microaerophilic requirement, it may play a role in the microbiome of its host, influencing gastrointestinal ecology and health.
