Pseudomonas putida S13.1.2

Pseudomonas putida S13.1.2 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its heterotrophic mode of metabolism. This organism is facultatively anaerobic, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is typically found in soil and wastewater, where it plays a significant role in the degradation of organic compounds. The bacterium is motile, possessing flagella that facilitate movement, which is advantageous for navigating its environment. Pseudomonas putida S13.1.2 has a mesophilic temperature range, suggesting it is well-suited to moderate temperature conditions commonly found in terrestrial ecosystems. This strain features a single replicon and is characterized by a double membrane structure, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Its free-living biotic relationship indicates that it does not require a host for survival, enabling it to contribute to soil health and nutrient cycling independently. In ecological terms, Pseudomonas putida S13.1.2 is significant due to its potential role in bioremediation processes. By breaking down pollutants in wastewater and soil, this bacterium can help mitigate environmental contamination, making it a valuable organism in efforts to maintain ecosystem balance and health. The presence of this strain in such habitats emphasizes the importance of microbial diversity in ecological resilience and environmental management. The accession for this strain is NZ_CP010979.1.
