Helicobacter mustelae R85-136P

Helicobacter mustelae R85-136P is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and aerobic oxygen requirement. This organism is motile, possessing flagella that enable its movement. It exists as single cells rather than in clusters or chains, indicating a solitary lifestyle. H. mustelae R85-136P thrives in mesophilic temperature ranges, which typically encompass moderate temperatures conducive to its growth and activity. The bacterium has a single replicon, suggesting a streamlined genetic structure that may facilitate efficient replication and adaptation in its environment. This species is classified as free-living, which indicates it does not depend on a host organism for survival. Its ecological role could be significant in its native habitat, potentially participating in nutrient cycling or influencing the microbiome of its environment. Overall, H. mustelae R85-136P exemplifies the diversity among Helicobacter species, with its unique traits contributing to our understanding of the ecological dynamics of free-living bacteria. The accession number for this strain is LS483446.1, which can be used for further research and exploration of its genetic and functional characteristics.
