Thalassospira xianhensis MCCC 1A02616

Thalassospira xianhensis MCCC 1A02616 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This species is classified as a facultative aerobe/anaerobe, indicating its ability to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. The optimal growth temperature for T. xianhensis is 29°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is typically between 20°C and 45°C. Furthermore, T. xianhensis possesses a single replicon, contributing to its genetic stability and replication processes. The genomic data for this species is accessible under the accession JPWA00000000.1, providing a resource for further research into its genetic and biochemical properties. Understanding the ecological role of Thalassospira xianhensis could provide insights into its interactions within aquatic environments. Given its versatile oxygen requirement and mesophilic nature, this bacterium may play a significant role in nutrient cycling and organic matter degradation in marine ecosystems. The ability to adapt to varying oxygen levels suggests its potential contribution to biogeochemical processes, particularly in sediment habitats where oxygen availability fluctuates. Thus, T. xianhensis may be an important player in maintaining the ecological balance within its native environment.
