Chromobacterium vaccinii str. XC0014

Chromobacterium vaccinii str. XC0014 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its coccoid shape and mobility, attributed to the presence of flagella. This species is classified as a facultatively anaerobe, enabling it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. C. vaccinii str. XC0014 exhibits mesophilic growth, with an optimal temperature of 25°C, and it is capable of surviving within a temperature range suitable for mesophiles. The organism features a unique cellular structure with two membranes and a single replicon, which is indicative of its classification within the Proteobacteria phylum. It is important to note that the bacterium's habitat is described as multiple, suggesting it can inhabit various ecological niches, although specific environments are not detailed. The ecological role of Chromobacterium vaccinii str. XC0014 may be linked to its versatility in oxygen utilization and its ability to thrive in diverse habitats. Its mobility and flagellar presence could facilitate its movement within these environments, potentially influencing interactions with other microorganisms or contributing to nutrient cycling processes. The ability to adapt to varying oxygen levels may also provide a competitive advantage in fluctuating ecological conditions. Understanding such traits can offer insights into the ecological dynamics where this bacterium is present. The genome of C. vaccinii str. XC0014 is accessible under the accession number NZ_CP022344.1, providing a resource for further research and exploration of its biological functions.
