Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila strain WCHAH045096

Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila strain WCHAH045096 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative aerobic metabolism. This strain is capable of using organic compounds as a heterotrophic energy source and is free-living, indicating it can thrive independently in various environments. The bacterium is motile, possessing flagella that facilitate movement, and typically exists in multiple cellular arrangements, including chains, pairs, and singles. In terms of temperature preferences, strain WCHAH045096 is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 22°C, suggesting it is well-suited to moderate environmental conditions. This adaptability to different habitats may contribute to its ecological resilience and prevalence in diverse environments. The strain has a complex genomic structure, characterized by five replicons and two membranes, which may play a role in its metabolic versatility and ability to respond to various environmental stresses. These traits collectively suggest that Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila strain WCHAH045096 is an adaptable organism capable of thriving in fluctuating conditions, which may serve important ecological functions, such as nutrient cycling and interaction with other microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems. Its ability to inhabit multiple niches highlights its significance in both environmental microbiology and potential implications for aquatic health.
