Knoellia subterranea KCTC 19937

Knoellia subterranea KCTC 19937 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its aerobic respiration. This organism demonstrates a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. Such conditions suggest that it thrives in moderate environments, typical of many soil and sediment habitats where similar bacteria are found. Knoellia subterranea is notable for having a single replicon, which indicates a streamlined genomic structure that may contribute to its adaptability in various ecological niches. The strain has been cataloged under the accession number AVPK00000000.1, which facilitates its identification and study within microbiological databases. The aerobic nature of Knoellia subterranea implies that it plays a role in environments where oxygen is present, potentially contributing to the degradation of organic matter and nutrient cycling in its ecosystem. Understanding the growth conditions and genetic framework of this bacterium can provide insights into its ecological functions and interactions with other microbial communities. Consequently, studying Knoellia subterranea may enhance our knowledge of microbial ecology, particularly in the context of soil health and the biogeochemical processes mediated by aerobic bacteria.
