Flavobacterium glycines str. NBRC 105008

Flavobacterium glycines strain NBRC 105008 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its facultative anaerobic metabolism and inability to form spores. This microbe thrives optimally at a temperature of 29.0°C, indicating a preference for mesophilic conditions. As a member of the Flavobacterium genus, it is likely to be involved in the decomposition of organic material, potentially playing a role in nutrient cycling within its environment. The facultative nature of its oxygen requirement suggests that F. glycines can adapt to varying oxygen levels, which may facilitate its survival in diverse habitats, including anaerobic environments or those with fluctuating oxygen concentrations. Further investigation into the metabolic pathways of this strain could shed light on its ecological functions and interactions within microbial communities, particularly in environments rich in organic substrates.
