Salmonella enterica strain FDA1072810-C001-001

Salmonella enterica strain FDA1072810-C001-001 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and ability to exist in both single cells and chains. This strain is a chemoorganotroph, indicating that it derives its energy from organic compounds, and it thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which aligns with the physiological temperature of many host organisms. Furthermore, it is classified as microaerophilic, suggesting that it requires lower levels of oxygen for growth than are typically found in the atmosphere. The habitat of Salmonella enterica strain FDA1072810-C001-001 is host-associated, indicating a potential relationship with living hosts, which may influence its survival and propagation. The microaerophilic nature of this strain may also reflect adaptations to specific niches within host environments where oxygen levels are lower than atmospheric concentrations, such as the gastrointestinal tracts of various animals. Understanding the specific traits of this strain may provide insights into its ecological roles and interactions within host environments, particularly regarding its energy acquisition strategies and its growth conditions. Such adaptations may be significant for understanding the microbe's survival mechanisms and its potential impact on host health and microbial community dynamics.
