Halorubrum distributum JCM 10118

Halorubrum distributum JCM 10118 is a rod-shaped archaeon notable for its presence of flagella, which facilitate motility in its environment. This microorganism is classified within the domain Archaea and is known for thriving in extreme saline conditions, characteristic of many members of the Halorubrum genus. The genome of Halorubrum distributum contains a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic organization that is often associated with extremophiles. This single-replicon structure may contribute to efficient replication and adaptation mechanisms, allowing the organism to maintain functionality in harsh environments. The accession number for Halorubrum distributum is AOJN00000000.1, which provides a reference for researchers seeking genomic data for further study. This information can be invaluable for understanding the genetic basis of its adaptability and survival strategies in high-salinity habitats. From an ecological perspective, Halorubrum distributum plays a crucial role in the microbial communities found in saline environments. Its ability to thrive in such conditions contributes to the overall biodiversity and functional dynamics of these ecosystems. As a motile organism, it may interact with other microbial populations, influencing nutrient cycling and energy flow within its niche. The presence of flagella suggests potential for competitive advantage in these environments, emphasizing the importance of mobility in the survival and ecological interactions of extremophilic microorganisms.
