Lysinibacillus boronitolerans JCM 21713 = 10a = NBRC 103108

Lysinibacillus boronitolerans JCM 21713 (also designated as 10a and NBRC 103108) is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium notable for its mesophilic nature, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. This organism is characterized by its ability to form spores, a trait that allows it to survive in fluctuating environmental conditions and contributes to its resilience. Lysinibacillus boronitolerans has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic architecture. The organism's classification under the genus Lysinibacillus suggests that it may be closely related to other species within this taxon, which are known for their diverse metabolic capabilities and roles in various ecological niches. The ecological significance of Lysinibacillus boronitolerans may be linked to its tolerance to boron, a trace element that can be toxic at higher concentrations. This tolerance may allow it to inhabit environments where boron levels are elevated, potentially contributing to nutrient cycling and soil health. Its spore-forming ability further enhances its ecological adaptability, enabling it to persist in challenging conditions while also facilitating its dispersal. Overall, Lysinibacillus boronitolerans JCM 21713 is a significant representative of its genus, with traits that underline its ecological versatility and potential applications in biotechnology or environmental management. Its accession number is JPVR00000000.1, providing a reference for further research on its genetic and phenotypic characteristics.
