Mycoplasmopsis agalactiae 14628

Mycoplasmopsis agalactiae 14628 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its cocci shape and presence of a single membrane. It is classified as facultatively anaerobic, indicating that it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen. This organism is non-motile, lacking flagella, and typically exists in a single-cell arrangement. The strain is psychrophilic, meaning it thrives at low temperatures, which is an important trait for its ecological adaptation. Mycoplasmopsis agalactiae 14628 is free-living, suggesting that it can exist independently in its environment, likely utilizing organic material available in host-associated habitats. The strain is notable for having a single replicon, which is characteristic of many bacteria in the Mycoplasma genus, reflecting its streamlined genome. The accession number for this strain is AJPR00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genetic and taxonomic studies. Understanding the traits of Mycoplasmopsis agalactiae 14628 can provide insights into its ecological role, particularly in host-associated environments where it may contribute to nutrient cycling or interact with other microorganisms. Its psychrophilic nature suggests a potential prevalence in cold habitats, which could influence microbial community dynamics and stability in such ecosystems.
