Neisseria shayeganii 12337, WC 04-12337

Neisseria shayeganii 12337, designated as WC 04-12337, is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and non-motility. This species possesses a single replicon, which is essential for its genetic stability and replication. The presence of flagella, although noted, does not confer motility to this organism. As a microaerophile, N. shayeganii 12337 requires oxygen at lower concentrations than what is found in the atmosphere, indicating a specialized niche that may influence its ecological interactions and survival strategies. The specific accession number for this strain is CP059567.1, which can be used for further genomic and taxonomic studies. The traits of N. shayeganii 12337 suggest adaptation to environments with limited oxygen availability, potentially influencing its role in various microbial communities. Understanding the ecological implications of its microaerophilic nature and its genetic composition may provide insights into its behavior in specific habitats, particularly those that mirror its oxygen requirements. This characteristic could also inform potential applications in biotechnology or medicine, emphasizing the importance of further research into this organism's biology and ecology.
