Companilactobacillus paralimentarius DSM 13238 = JCM 10415

Companilactobacillus paralimentarius DSM 13238, also designated as JCM 10415, is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium. It possesses flagella, which suggests a capability for motility. This species is notable for having a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure. The genomic data for this organism is cataloged under the accession number AZES00000000.1. The presence of flagella in Companilactobacillus paralimentarius may facilitate its movement within various environments, potentially enhancing its ability to colonize specific niches. The rod shape is a common morphological trait seen in many bacteria and can be advantageous for nutrient absorption and interaction with other microorganisms in its habitat. In terms of ecological roles, bacteria like Companilactobacillus paralimentarius are often involved in fermentation processes, which can influence the microbiome of their surroundings. This bacterium may contribute to the dynamics of microbial communities, particularly in food-related ecosystems, where its motility and growth characteristics can play significant roles in fermentation and spoilage. Understanding the traits of Companilactobacillus paralimentarius can provide insights into its ecological interactions and potential applications in biotechnology or food sciences.
