Campylobacter jejuni strain CB336 118

Campylobacter jejuni strain CB336 118 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and its tendency to form chains or exist as single cells. This strain, like other members of its species, is a microaerophile, requiring reduced levels of oxygen for optimal growth. It exhibits heterotrophic metabolism, utilizing organic compounds as its energy source, which allows it to thrive in diverse habitats. Notably, C. jejuni strain CB336 118 has an optimal growth temperature that is not specified but is understood to require environments that can support its metabolic needs. The strain's adaptability to various habitats suggests a potential ecological versatility, enabling it to inhabit different niches within its environment. This characteristic positions it as a significant organism in microbial communities, where it may play roles in nutrient cycling or interactions with other microorganisms. The unique combination of traits observed in C. jejuni strain CB336 118 underscores its potential significance in various ecological contexts, particularly in environments where microaerophilic conditions prevail. Further exploration of its specific habitat preferences could reveal insights into its ecological interactions and functional roles within microbial ecosystems.
