Vibrio parahaemolyticus 901128

Vibrio parahaemolyticus 901128 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its arrangement in singles. This strain thrives in aquatic environments, where it plays a role as a heterotrophic organism, utilizing organic compounds as its energy source. V. parahaemolyticus 901128 exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to adapt to varying oxygen levels within its habitat. The optimal temperature for growth is approximately 20.0 °C, indicating a preference for cooler aquatic conditions. The ecological significance of V. parahaemolyticus 901128 may lie in its ability to contribute to the microbial diversity of aquatic ecosystems, potentially influencing nutrient cycling and energy flow. Its heterotrophic lifestyle suggests that it may interact with a variety of organic substrates, which could be important for the degradation of organic matter in aquatic habitats. This adaptability to both aerobic and anaerobic conditions further emphasizes its ecological versatility and potential role in biogeochemical processes within freshwater or marine environments.
