Burkholderia lata str. 383

Burkholderia lata strain 383 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits facultative aerobic metabolism. This strain is versatile in its habitat preferences, indicating an ability to thrive in various environments, which may include soil, water, or plant-associated niches. The facultative aerobic nature of B. lata str. 383 suggests that it can utilize both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, enabling it to adapt to fluctuating oxygen levels and diverse ecological conditions. The rod shape of this bacterium is characteristic of many members of the Burkholderia genus, which is known for its metabolic diversity and adaptability. Such traits may contribute to its ecological resilience, allowing B. lata str. 383 to occupy multiple niches, potentially influencing biogeochemical cycles within those environments. Understanding the ecological role of Burkholderia lata str. 383 could provide insights into its interactions with other microorganisms and its contributions to nutrient cycling in various habitats. The adaptability of this strain to different environmental conditions emphasizes the importance of further research to explore its potential applications in biotechnology or bioremediation.
