Allonocardiopsis opalescens str. DSM 45601

Allonocardiopsis opalescens strain DSM 45601 is a Gram-positive, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This organism is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C, indicating its preference for moderate temperature conditions. A notable feature of A. opalescens is its capacity for sporulation, enabling it to form spores that may enhance its survival in varying environmental conditions. The strain possesses a single replicon, which is relevant for understanding its genetic organization and replicative capabilities. The accession number for this strain is PVZC00000000.1, providing a reference point for genomic studies and further research into its biological properties. In terms of ecological significance, the aerobic nature of A. opalescens suggests its potential role in environments where oxygen is available, possibly contributing to nutrient cycling or biodegradation processes. The ability to form spores may also allow it to endure unfavorable conditions, thus playing a part in ecological resilience. Overall, A. opalescens presents interesting opportunities for studying the interactions of aerobic, spore-forming bacteria within their habitats, as well as their potential applications in biotechnology.
