Stutzerimonas xanthomarina DSM 18231

Stutzerimonas xanthomarina DSM 18231 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This species possesses flagella, enabling it to exhibit mobility. Stutzerimonas xanthomarina is psychrotolerant, meaning it can thrive in low-temperature environments, although specific temperature ranges are not provided. The genomic configuration of Stutzerimonas xanthomarina includes a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic organization typical of many bacteria. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FQXA00000000.1, which is essential for researchers seeking to access its genomic data for further study. In an ecological context, the psychrotolerant nature of Stutzerimonas xanthomarina suggests its potential role in cold environments, such as polar regions or deep-sea ecosystems. Its ability to maintain metabolic activity in cooler temperatures could contribute to biogeochemical cycles in these habitats, particularly in the breakdown of organic matter. The mobile nature of this bacterium, coupled with its aerobic requirements, may influence its distribution and interactions within microbial communities in cold environments.
