Corynebacterium terpenotabidum Y-11

Corynebacterium terpenotabidum Y-11 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This species is strictly aerobic, indicating that it requires oxygen for growth and energy production. C. terpenotabidum Y-11 is non-motile, meaning it does not possess the means to move independently. The bacterium has a single replicon, which is a distinguishing feature of its genetic organization. Notably, C. terpenotabidum Y-11 is non-spore-forming, suggesting that it may have alternative survival strategies under unfavorable conditions rather than entering a dormant state typical of spore-forming bacteria. The strain is cataloged under the accession number NC_021663.1, which provides access to its genomic data and facilitates further research into its genetics and potential applications. From a biological and ecological perspective, the aerobic nature of C. terpenotabidum Y-11 implies that it plays a role in environments where oxygen is readily available, potentially influencing nutrient cycling and interactions with other microorganisms in its habitat. Understanding the traits of this bacterium can contribute to our knowledge of microbial communities and their functions in various ecosystems.
