Burkholderia cenocepacia strain Bp9145

Burkholderia cenocepacia strain Bp9145 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella. It is classified as a facultative aerobe, allowing it to thrive in various oxygen conditions. This strain is mesophilic, indicating it prefers moderate temperature ranges for optimal growth. Burkholderia cenocepacia is known for its free-living biotic relationship, meaning it can exist independently in various environments. It is notably associated with Homo sapiens, suggesting that it may interact with human hosts, potentially impacting health, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This bacterium has a singular replicon and is characterized by a double membrane structure, which is typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Notably, strain Bp9145 does not undergo sporulation, indicating a reliance on environmental conditions for survival rather than forming spores for resilience. The ecological significance of Burkholderia cenocepacia strain Bp9145 lies in its adaptability to diverse habitats and its potential interactions with human hosts. Its ability to exist in different environments and its role as a free-living organism may contribute to its ecological versatility and influence on microbial communities, particularly in contexts where it interacts with human health. The accession number for this strain is QTRS00000000.1, which can be used for further reference and study.
