Ligilactobacillus salivarius strain JCM1046

Ligilactobacillus salivarius strain JCM1046 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium classified as a facultative anaerobe. This strain is non-motile and lacks flagella, indicating that it does not have the ability to move independently. It thrives in a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 45°C, which is notably higher than many other mesophilic organisms. The bacterium is host-associated and exhibits a free-living biotic relationship, suggesting interactions within its ecological niche. It has been isolated from various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (chickens), Metazoa (multicellular animals), Sus scrofa (pigs), and Aves (birds). This wide range of hosts underscores its potential significance in diverse biological systems. Ligilactobacillus salivarius strain JCM1046 has a complex genomic structure, possessing four replicons and a single membrane. The strain does not form spores, which may influence its survival strategies in the host environments. The ecological insight provided by the host associations of Ligilactobacillus salivarius strain JCM1046 indicates its role in the microbiota of various species. Its presence across multiple hosts suggests that it may contribute to the microbial balance in these ecosystems, potentially influencing health and disease states in its human and animal hosts.
