Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida strain TCH2015

Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida strain TCH2015 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a free-living biotic relationship. This strain is characterized by its mesophilic nature, thriving in moderate temperature conditions. It is an aerobic organism, requiring oxygen for survival, and is non-motile, lacking the ability to move independently despite the presence of flagella. This bacterium is notable for its unique habitat, being found in aquatic environments, which may influence its ecological interactions and adaptations. The organism possesses a single genomic replicon and features a double membrane structure, characteristic of its classification within the Francisella genus. The specific accession number for Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida strain TCH2015 is NZ_CP021490.1, which provides a reference for further genomic studies and analyses. Understanding the ecological role of this strain within aquatic systems can provide insights into the dynamics of microbial communities and the potential impact of environmental factors on its distribution and survival. The ability of F. tularensis subsp. novicida to thrive in such environments highlights its adaptability and potential interactions within aquatic ecosystems.
