Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764

Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in multiple habitats. As a heterotrophic organism, it derives its energy from organic compounds. This species is classified as an aerobe, requiring oxygen for its metabolic processes, and it is characterized by its mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella. This bacterium exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C. It has a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, a feature typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764 is free-living, indicating that it does not rely on a host organism for survival and can exist independently within various ecosystems. The ecological significance of Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764 lies in its versatility and adaptability to different environments. Its ability to thrive in diverse habitats and utilize various organic substances for energy allows it to play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition in ecosystems. This adaptability may also have implications for its use in bioremediation and agricultural applications, where it could help in the breakdown of pollutants or enhance plant growth through beneficial interactions. Accessions for this strain can be found under the identifier NZ_CP010945.1.
