Aliarcobacter cibarius strain 16CS0831-3

Aliarcobacter cibarius strain 16CS0831-3 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its curved rod shape. This strain possesses true flagella, which likely contributes to its motility in aquatic environments. It has been identified in habitats associated with water from poultry farms, indicating a potential ecological niche linked to avian agriculture. The strain has a single replicon, suggesting a relatively simple genomic structure compared to bacteria with multiple replicons. It has been linked to various hosts, including Gallus gallus (domestic chickens), Bos (cattle), and Aves (birds in general). This host range may reflect its adaptability and potential role in the microbiomes of these animals. The accession number for this strain is VBUD00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic studies and characterization. The presence of A. cibarius in poultry farms highlights its ecological relevance, particularly in understanding the dynamics of microbial communities in agricultural settings. Its association with both avian and mammalian hosts may also suggest a role in animal health or disease, although further research would be needed to elucidate these interactions fully. Overall, A. cibarius strain 16CS0831-3 exemplifies the diverse and complex microbial life found in agricultural water systems, with implications for livestock health and farm management practices.
