Geoalkalibacter ferrihydriticus DSM 17813

Geoalkalibacter ferrihydriticus DSM 17813 is a species of bacteria characterized by having two replicons. This trait is significant as it may contribute to the organism's adaptability and genetic diversity. The organism is cataloged under the accession numbers JWJD00000000.1 and FNGU00000000.1, which are identifiers used in genomic databases to track its genomic information. As a member of the genus Geoalkalibacter, G. ferrihydriticus is likely adapted to alkaline environments, which is a common characteristic of bacteria in this group. The ability to thrive in such conditions may play a role in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the cycling of iron and other minerals in alkaline habitats. From an ecological perspective, understanding the traits of G. ferrihydriticus can provide insights into the microbial communities that inhabit extreme environments. The presence of this bacterium in alkaline conditions suggests it could be involved in processes such as mineral weathering or bioremediation, where microorganisms contribute to the transformation of minerals and the detoxification of pollutants. Overall, G. ferrihydriticus serves as an important organism for studying microbial life in unique ecological niches and its role in environmental processes.
