Flavobacterium indicum GPTSA100-9 = DSM 17447

Flavobacterium indicum GPTSA100-9, also known as DSM 17447, is an aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella. This motility feature may facilitate its movement in various aquatic environments, contributing to its ecological adaptability. The organism possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic architecture, which can be advantageous for efficient replication and survival under aerobic conditions. The strain has been assigned the accession number NC_017025.1, which allows for its genomic information to be accessed and studied in detail, providing insights into its metabolic capabilities and ecological roles. As an aerobic bacterium, F. indicum likely plays a role in the degradation of organic matter in oxygen-rich environments, contributing to nutrient cycling and the maintenance of ecosystem health. In summary, Flavobacterium indicum GPTSA100-9's aerobic nature and motility through flagella suggest its potential involvement in aquatic microbial communities, where it may serve as a decomposer, influencing the dynamics of organic material breakdown and nutrient availability in its habitat.
