Pseudomonas fluorescens str. CFBP13517

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain CFBP13517 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exists as single cells and is classified as an aerobic heterotroph. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 25.0°C and is known to inhabit a variety of environments, suggesting its adaptability to diverse ecological niches. As a member of the Pseudomonas genus, P. fluorescens is typically associated with soil and water, where it plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. The heterotrophic nature of this bacterium indicates that it derives energy from organic compounds, which may contribute to its versatility in utilizing different substrates found in its varied habitats. Additionally, the aerobic requirement underlines its dependence on oxygen for metabolic processes, which is common among many Pseudomonas species. This trait may influence its distribution in environments where oxygen levels fluctuate, potentially allowing P. fluorescens str. CFBP13517 to thrive in microaerophilic conditions or in the presence of other microbial populations. The ecological versatility of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain CFBP13517 highlights its potential role in bioremediation and as a model organism for studying microbial physiology and interactions within complex ecosystems. Understanding its metabolic capabilities and ecological interactions may provide insights into its applications in environmental microbiology and sustainable practices.
