Chryseobacterium luteum str. DSM 18605

Chryseobacterium luteum str. DSM 18605 is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology and an optimal growth temperature of 16.0°C. This organism is obligately aerobic, necessitating oxygen for its metabolic processes. As a member of the genus Chryseobacterium, C. luteum str. DSM 18605 exhibits notable traits that align with the genus's known characteristics, including the ability to thrive in various environments. While specific ecological roles are not detailed in the provided data, the optimal growth temperature suggests that this strain may be well-suited for cold environments, such as those found in marine or freshwater habitats where temperatures are typically lower. The physiological adaptations of C. luteum str. DSM 18605 to aerobic conditions may indicate its involvement in the decomposition of organic matter or nutrient cycling in such ecosystems. Further studies could elucidate its interactions with other microorganisms and its contributions to environmental processes.
