Campylobacter jejuni strain CB366 37

Campylobacter jejuni strain CB366 37 is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and ability to exist in both single cells and chains. This strain exhibits heterotrophic metabolism, relying on organic compounds as its primary energy source, which is indicative of its adaptability to diverse environments. Optimal growth conditions for strain CB366 37 are not explicitly defined, though it is known to thrive at a temperature of 0.0°C, suggesting a capability for surviving in cooler habitats. The ecological versatility of Campylobacter jejuni strain CB366 37 is highlighted by its presence in multiple habitats, indicating that it may be capable of colonizing various niches. This adaptability can be crucial for survival in fluctuating environmental conditions, potentially allowing the strain to exploit different ecological resources. The microaerophilic nature of this bacterium suggests it may inhabit environments with limited oxygen availability, which is often found in specific ecological niches such as animal intestines or certain aquatic environments. Understanding the growth characteristics and ecological preferences of strain CB366 37 can provide insight into its role within microbial communities and its interactions with its environment.
