Campylobacter jejuni strain CB345 123

Campylobacter jejuni strain CB345 123 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and tendency to form chains or exist as single cells. This strain exhibits microaerophilic properties, indicating that it thrives in environments with reduced oxygen levels, which is typical for many Campylobacter species. As a heterotroph, C. jejuni strain CB345 123 utilizes organic compounds as its energy source, allowing it to adapt to a variety of habitats. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is notably low at 0.0°C, suggesting a potential adaptation to cold environments, which may influence its ecological niche and interactions with other microbial communities. This trait could enable C. jejuni strain CB345 123 to persist in cooler habitats where few other pathogens can survive, highlighting its ecological versatility. Understanding its growth and survival strategies in varied environments may provide insights into its role in food safety and microbiological ecosystems.
