Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Derby strain HIY0016

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Derby strain HIY0016 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and presence of flagella. This strain is categorized as a microaerophilic chemoorganotroph, indicating that it requires oxygen at lower levels than are found in the atmosphere for optimal growth. It typically thrives at an optimal temperature of 37°C, within a mesophilic temperature range. The cells of this strain are arranged in chains or singles, showcasing its unique cellular organization. Salmonella enterica serovar Derby strain HIY0016 is free-living and has a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic structure. It features a double membrane system, common to Gram-negative bacteria, which plays a crucial role in its interaction with the environment and host organisms. The ecological implications of this strain are significant, as it is host-associated and may be involved in various biotic relationships. Its ability to thrive in specific conditions can influence its pathogenic potential and the dynamics of microbial communities in host environments. Understanding the traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Derby strain HIY0016 can provide insights into its role in food safety and public health, particularly in relation to its transmission and impact on host organisms. The accession number for this strain is VDED00000000.2, which can be referenced for further genetic and phenotypic studies.
