Vibrio parahaemolyticus O1:Kuk str. FDA_R31

Vibrio parahaemolyticus O1:Kuk str. FDA_R31 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists as single cells in aquatic environments. This organism is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions. Its heterotrophic nature indicates that it derives energy by consuming organic compounds, which is consistent with its habitat in diverse aquatic ecosystems. The optimal growth temperature for V. parahaemolyticus O1:Kuk str. FDA_R31 is approximately 20.0°C, suggesting a preference for temperate aquatic environments where such temperatures are common. As a member of the Vibrio genus, this strain may exhibit typical characteristics associated with this group, including a potential for survival in various salinity levels and adaptability to fluctuating environmental conditions. Given its aquatic habitat and metabolic capabilities, V. parahaemolyticus O1:Kuk str. FDA_R31 may play a significant role in the microbial dynamics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. Its ability to thrive under varying oxygen conditions could also indicate its importance in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition in these environments. This versatility emphasizes the ecological significance of Vibrio species in aquatic microbiomes, particularly in terms of their contributions to microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning.
