Corynebacterium ureicelerivorans strain IMMIB RIV-2301

Corynebacterium ureicelerivorans strain IMMIB RIV-2301 is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium that exhibits microaerophilic characteristics, thriving optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C. This strain belongs to the genus Corynebacterium, which is known for its rod-shaped morphology and diverse metabolic capabilities. The microaerophilic nature of C. ureicelerivorans suggests a specific adaptation to environments with limited oxygen availability, potentially influencing its ecological interactions and niche specialization. The optimal growth temperature of 37.0°C indicates that this strain is well-suited for environments that closely mimic mammalian physiological conditions, which may be relevant to its ecological role. While specific pathogenicity or ecological roles have not been delineated in the available data, the traits observed in this strain could suggest a potential association with warm-blooded hosts or environments where organic matter decomposition occurs under restricted oxygen conditions. Given its microaerophilic lifestyle and optimal growth temperature, C. ureicelerivorans strain IMMIB RIV-2301 may play a role in nutrient cycling in environments such as soil or the gastrointestinal tracts of certain animals, where oxygen levels are lower than atmospheric. Further studies could elucidate its metabolic pathways and ecological interactions, enhancing our understanding of its role within microbial communities.
