Pseudohaliea rubra DSM 19751

Pseudohaliea rubra DSM 19751 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and non-motile nature. This organism thrives in mesophilic conditions, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. It possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. The classification of Pseudohaliea rubra as Gram-negative suggests that it has a thinner peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall compared to Gram-positive bacteria, which can influence its susceptibility to certain antibiotics and its interactions with other microorganisms. Its aerobic requirement implies that it relies on oxygen for its metabolic processes, which can affect its ecological niche, particularly in environments rich in oxygen. Given its optimal temperature of 29°C, Pseudohaliea rubra is well-suited to environments that maintain moderate temperatures, such as soil and freshwater ecosystems. The organism's mesophilic nature allows it to play a role in biogeochemical cycles within these habitats, potentially influencing nutrient availability and microbial community dynamics. Understanding the traits of Pseudohaliea rubra can provide insights into its ecological roles, particularly in oxygen-rich environments where it may contribute to organic matter decomposition or nutrient cycling. Its specific temperature preference also suggests its potential application in biotechnological processes that require stable mesophilic conditions.
