Gordonia otitidis NBRC 100426

Gordonia otitidis NBRC 100426 is a Gram-positive, aerobic to microaerophilic bacterium characterized by its spherical shape. This species is non-motile and possesses true flagella, although it does not utilize them for movement. Gordonia otitidis thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C, indicating its mesophilic nature, which allows it to survive within a moderate temperature range conducive to bacterial growth. The organism is notable for having a single replicon, which is a characteristic feature that can influence its genetic stability and replication processes. The strain is cataloged under the accession number BAFB00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genetic and microbiological studies. From a biological and ecological perspective, the presence of Gordonia otitidis in various environments may suggest its role in the degradation of complex organic compounds, particularly in habitats where aerobic conditions are prevalent. Its mesophilic growth preference aligns with typical environmental temperatures found in soil and water, potentially facilitating its involvement in biogeochemical cycles. Understanding the traits of Gordonia otitidis can contribute to insights into microbial ecology and the functions of bacteria in natural ecosystems.
