Lysobacter defluvii IMMIB APB-9 = DSM 18482

Lysobacter defluvii IMMIB APB-9, also known as DSM 18482, is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This species is motile, which aids in its adaptability to various environments. L. defluvii thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C, positioning it within the mesophilic temperature range. The organism has a singular replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure. Importantly, L. defluvii does not form spores, which may influence its survival and reproduction strategies in fluctuating environmental conditions. The unique traits of Lysobacter defluvii suggest that it plays a significant role in its ecological niche, likely contributing to the degradation of complex organic materials. Its aerobic nature implies an involvement in processes that require oxygen, such as the breakdown of pollutants or organic matter in soil and water ecosystems. This capacity for biodegradation may be particularly valuable in bioremediation efforts, where microbial action is harnessed to mitigate environmental contamination. The accession number AVBH00000000.1 provides a reference for further genomic studies, which could enhance our understanding of its metabolic capabilities and ecological significance.
