Cricetibacter osteomyelitidis strain DSM 28404

Cricetibacter osteomyelitidis strain DSM 28404 is a microaerophilic bacterium, meaning it requires reduced levels of oxygen for optimal growth. This characteristic is significant as it suggests that the organism thrives in environments where oxygen is present but not in high concentrations, which can be typical of certain host tissues or specific ecological niches. The strain is characterized by having a single replicon, which indicates a streamlined genomic structure that may facilitate efficient replication and adaptation within its ecological context. The accession number for this strain is SLYB00000000.1, which serves as a reference for researchers seeking genomic and taxonomic information about Cricetibacter osteomyelitidis. Understanding the microaerophilic nature and genomic characteristics of this bacterium can provide insights into its potential roles in various biological or ecological systems. For instance, its adaptation to low-oxygen environments may suggest a niche in the microbiota of certain host organisms or specific habitats where oxygen levels fluctuate. Further study of this strain could illuminate its interactions within microbial communities, its pathogenic potential, or its role in nutrient cycling in microaerophilic ecosystems.
