Kingella potus strain NCTC13336

Kingella potus strain NCTC13336 is a microaerophilic bacterium, indicating that it requires reduced levels of oxygen for optimal growth. This trait suggests a specific ecological niche where it thrives, typically in environments with limited oxygen availability. The presence of flagella in this strain implies that it has the capability for motility, which may aid in its colonization of host tissues or environments where it is found. Genetically, Kingella potus strain NCTC13336 possesses a single replicon, which is characteristic of many bacteria and simplifies its genomic organization. This could potentially influence its replication and stability within its ecological context. The strain is cataloged under the accession number UGJJ00000000.1, providing a reference point for genomic studies and comparisons with other strains. In summary, Kingella potus strain NCTC13336 exemplifies a microaerophilic lifestyle with motility capabilities due to flagella presence, and its genomic structure is marked by a single replicon. These traits imply a specialization for survival in niche environments where oxygen levels are limited, highlighting its potential role in specific ecological interactions and its adaptability to varying conditions.
