Vibrio alginolyticus strain FDAARGOS_108

Vibrio alginolyticus strain FDAARGOS_108 is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium that thrives in marine environments, with an optimal growth temperature of 30.0°C. This strain is part of the Vibrio genus, known for its wide distribution in oceanic and estuarine waters. As a facultative anaerobe, V. alginolyticus can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen, allowing it to occupy various niches within marine ecosystems. The ability to adapt to fluctuating oxygen levels may confer a competitive advantage in diverse habitats, including coastal regions where oxygen availability can vary due to biological activity and environmental changes. Understanding the growth characteristics and ecological role of V. alginolyticus strain FDAARGOS_108 enhances our knowledge of microbial dynamics in marine environments, particularly in relation to nutrient cycling and interactions with other marine organisms. This strain exemplifies the adaptability of marine bacteria to their environments, highlighting the importance of temperature and oxygen availability in shaping microbial communities in aquatic systems.
