Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis str. JC271

Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis str. JC271 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its curved or spiral shape. This species possesses true flagella, which contribute to its motility in anaerobic environments. The optimal growth temperature for Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis is 32°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. The organism has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic architecture. The accession number for this strain is JXMS00000000.1, which is relevant for researchers seeking to access its genomic data. In terms of ecological significance, Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis str. JC271 may play a role in anaerobic biogeochemical cycles, particularly in environments where sulfate reduction occurs. Its ability to thrive in anaerobic conditions suggests that it could be involved in the degradation of organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling in its habitat. This capability highlights the importance of such microorganisms in maintaining ecosystem balance and facilitating energy flow within anaerobic niches.
