Chthonomonas calidirosea T49

Chthonomonas calidirosea T49 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This organism is thermophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 45°C, indicating its preference for high-temperature environments. It has a temperature range suitable for growth that aligns with thermophilic conditions, allowing it to thrive in hot habitats. Chthonomonas calidirosea T49 possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic organization. This bacterium does not form spores, further defining its reproductive and survival strategies in extreme environments. The specific accession number for genomic data related to this organism is NC_021487.1, which provides a resource for further genetic and functional studies. The thermophilic nature of Chthonomonas calidirosea T49 suggests that it may play a significant role in biogeochemical processes in high-temperature ecosystems, such as hot springs or geothermal environments. Its aerobic requirement indicates that it contributes to the utilization of oxygen in these habitats, potentially influencing microbial community dynamics and nutrient cycling in thermophilic ecosystems.
