Amycolatopsis lurida NRRL 2430

Amycolatopsis lurida NRRL 2430 is a mesophilic actinobacterium characterized by its ability to form spores. This organism possesses flagella, which suggests a motile characteristic, although the specific implications of this motility in its ecological niche have not been detailed. The optimal temperature for growth is noted to be 29°C, indicating its preference for moderate temperatures typical of mesophilic microbes. The strain is defined by a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic structure. The genomic information is accessible under the accession number JFBM00000000.1, allowing for further investigation into its genetic makeup. Sporulation capability is a significant trait as it allows the bacterium to survive in adverse conditions, facilitating its persistence in various environments. The presence of flagella in conjunction with its spore-forming ability may provide insights into the ecological roles of A. lurida. The ability to move and form spores could enable this bacterium to colonize new habitats efficiently and endure unfavorable conditions. Overall, Amycolatopsis lurida NRRL 2430 exemplifies the adaptive strategies of actinobacteria, combining motility with reproductive resilience, which are important traits for survival in diverse ecological contexts.
