Psychrobacter aquaticus CMS 56

Psychrobacter aquaticus CMS 56 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its spherical shape. This organism is non-motile, indicating the absence of movement mechanisms, and possesses flagella despite its lack of mobility. Psychrobacter aquaticus is psychrotolerant, with an optimal growth temperature of 16°C and a temperature range suitable for colder environments. This bacterium is notable for its single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic organization. Its genetic information is cataloged under the accession AUSW00000000.1, providing a resource for further research and analysis. The psychrotolerant nature of Psychrobacter aquaticus CMS 56 suggests a potential ecological role in cold environments, such as polar regions or deep-sea habitats. Its ability to thrive at lower temperatures may contribute to nutrient cycling and the maintenance of microbial diversity in these ecosystems. Understanding the traits of Psychrobacter aquaticus can shed light on microbial adaptations to extreme environments and their ecological significance.
