Chryseobacterium koreense CCUG 49689

Chryseobacterium koreense CCUG 49689 is a Gram-negative, non-motile rod-shaped bacterium. It is categorized as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. This temperature preference indicates that C. koreense thrives in moderate environmental conditions, which is typical for many bacteria found in temperate climates. The organism possesses a single replicon, which is characteristic of many bacteria and suggests a streamlined genetic organization. Importantly, C. koreense is non-spore-forming, indicating that it does not produce spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions, a trait commonly seen in other bacterial genera. The accession number for C. koreense is LFNG00000000.1, which is part of its genomic data repository, allowing for further research and characterization. From a biological and ecological perspective, the traits of Chryseobacterium koreense CCUG 49689 suggest that it may play a role in nutrient cycling in its natural habitat, likely within environments that maintain the mesophilic temperature range. Its non-spore-forming nature may imply a reliance on stable environments for survival, positioning it within specific ecological niches where conditions remain favorable for growth and reproduction. The understanding of such traits could help illuminate the ecological roles of related bacterial species in their respective ecosystems.
