Halodesulfovibrio marinisediminis DSM 17456

Halodesulfovibrio marinisediminis DSM 17456 is a mesophilic, curved to spiral-shaped bacterium known for its unique ecological niche. It thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C, indicating a preference for moderate environmental conditions. This organism is characterized by the presence of flagella, which facilitate motility, allowing it to navigate its aquatic habitat effectively. H. marinisediminis is a non-spore-forming bacterium, which suggests that it relies on other survival strategies rather than sporulation to withstand environmental stresses. This trait can impact its ecological role, as non-spore-forming bacteria often have different survival and growth strategies compared to their spore-forming counterparts. The genome of H. marinisediminis is represented by a single replicon, which is an important aspect of its genetic organization. The reference accession number for its genetic material is FSRG00000000.1, providing a resource for further genomic studies and understanding its metabolic pathways. In summary, Halodesulfovibrio marinisediminis DSM 17456 is a mesophilic, motile bacterium that plays a role in aquatic environments. Its non-spore-forming nature and optimal growth conditions suggest it may be involved in specific biogeochemical processes, potentially influencing nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems. The understanding of such traits is crucial for appreciating the ecological dynamics in which this bacterium participates.
