Erwinia piriflorinigrans CFBP 5888 str. CFBP5888

Erwinia piriflorinigrans CFBP 5888 str. CFBP5888 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella, which facilitate motility. This strain exhibits a facultative aerobe/anaerobe oxygen requirement, allowing it to thrive in varying oxygen conditions. It is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C, indicating its preference for moderate environmental temperatures. E. piriflorinigrans CFBP 5888 is non-spore-forming and contains a single replicon, which is important for its genetic stability and replication. The strain has been cataloged under the accession number CAHS00000000.1, providing a reference for further research and study. From a biological and ecological perspective, the traits of E. piriflorinigrans suggest it may play a role in specific environmental niches where moderate temperatures and variable oxygen levels are present. Its adaptability to different oxygen conditions could allow it to occupy diverse habitats, potentially influencing the microbial dynamics in its ecosystem. Understanding its characteristics can also provide insights into its interactions with plant hosts or other microorganisms, contributing to the knowledge of plant-associated bacterial communities.
