Flavobacterium weaverense str. DSM 19727

Flavobacterium weaverense str. DSM 19727 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its non-spore-forming nature and optimal growth temperature of 16.0 °C. The organism is part of the Flavobacteriaceae family and exhibits typical features associated with this group, including its morphological characteristics and metabolic requirements. As a Gram-negative microbe, F. weaverense possesses an outer membrane that contains lipopolysaccharides, which can influence its interactions within various environments and its resilience to certain antimicrobial agents. The aerobic nature of this bacterium suggests a reliance on oxygen for its metabolic processes, potentially positioning it within specific ecological niches where oxygen availability is sufficient. The optimal growth temperature of 16.0 °C indicates that F. weaverense is likely adapted to cooler environments, which may include aquatic habitats or other cold-adapted ecosystems. This temperature preference can provide insights into its ecological role, particularly in biogeochemical cycles in cold-water environments. Overall, the traits of Flavobacterium weaverense str. DSM 19727 suggest it may play a significant role in the microbial community dynamics of cooler habitats, contributing to nutrient cycling and organic matter degradation in these ecosystems.
