Cellulophaga geojensis KL-A

Cellulophaga geojensis KL-A is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits motility through the presence of true flagella. This species thrives optimally at a temperature of 25°C and is categorized as mesophilic, indicating its preferred growth range lies within moderate temperature conditions. C. geojensis KL-A is characterized by its single replicon and is non-spore-forming, which suggests a reliance on stable environmental conditions for survival and reproduction. The accession number for this strain is ARZX00000000.1, which can be referenced for genomic and additional taxonomic information. Ecologically, the traits of C. geojensis KL-A highlight its potential role in nutrient cycling, particularly in environments where organic matter decomposition is essential. Its aerobic metabolism indicates that it may contribute to the breakdown of cellulose and other organic compounds in aerobic conditions, facilitating the recycling of carbon and nutrients in ecosystems. This bacterium could be significant in various biotechnological applications, such as bioremediation and waste management, where cellulose degradation is necessary for effective organic waste processing.
