Corynebacterium amycolatum PAP 272, Co272

Corynebacterium amycolatum PAP 272 (Co272) is a microaerophilic bacterium characterized by its optimal growth temperature of 29°C, placing it within the mesophilic range. This organism possesses a single replicon, which is significant for its genetic stability and replication processes. Co272 is known to inhabit human hosts, specifically Homo sapiens, indicating its potential relevance in human-associated microbiomes or clinical settings. The bacterium is cataloged under the accession number CP068168.1, providing a reference for genomic studies and further characterization. The microaerophilic nature of Co272 suggests that it thrives in environments with reduced oxygen levels, which can be found in various niches within the human body. This trait may influence its ecological role, potentially allowing it to coexist with other microbial species in anaerobic or low-oxygen environments. Its optimal growth at 29°C aligns with the human body's temperature, suggesting it may be well-adapted to conditions present in human tissues or secretions. In summary, Corynebacterium amycolatum PAP 272 exhibits traits that underscore its adaptability and potential significance within human microbiomes. Its microaerophilic requirement and mesophilic temperature range may facilitate its survival and interactions in varied ecological niches within the human host.
