Fusobacterium nucleatum str. MJR7757B

Fusobacterium nucleatum str. MJR7757B is a nonsporulating, Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in anaerobic environments, with an optimal growth temperature of 37.0°C. This strain is typically associated with host environments, suggesting a close relationship with various host organisms. As a member of the Fusobacterium genus, F. nucleatum is known for its role in the human microbiome, particularly within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract. The anaerobic nature of this bacterium indicates its adaptation to low-oxygen environments, which is characteristic of many members of the gut microbiota. The ability to flourish at 37.0°C aligns with the physiological temperature of the human body, indicating potential interactions with host systems. The ecological role of F. nucleatum str. MJR7757B may be significant in maintaining microbial balance within its host-associated habitat. Its presence may contribute to the complex interplay of microbial communities, influencing health and disease states. Understanding the specific traits of this strain can provide insights into the functional dynamics of the microbiome, as well as the potential implications for host health and disease management.
