Neisseria animalis strain DSM 23392

Neisseria animalis strain DSM 23392 is a microaerophilic bacterium, indicating that it requires reduced levels of oxygen for optimal growth. This trait is crucial for its survival and proliferation in specific ecological niches where oxygen levels are limited. The strain possesses true flagella, which are likely to play a significant role in its motility and colonization abilities within its environment. The genomic structure of Neisseria animalis DSM 23392 includes a single replicon, which suggests a streamlined genetic organization. This can be advantageous for the organism, potentially allowing for efficient replication and regulation of its cellular processes. The strain is cataloged under the accession number RKRJ00000000.1, which provides a reference for researchers interested in studying its genetic and functional characteristics. Understanding the specific traits of Neisseria animalis DSM 23392 may offer insights into its ecological role. As a microaerophile with flagella, it may inhabit environments such as mucosal surfaces or other areas within host organisms where oxygen is present at suboptimal levels. This could suggest a potential role in host-associated microbial communities or interactions with other microorganisms, highlighting its importance in microbial ecology and potential implications in health or disease.
