Phaeobacter piscinae str. P13

Phaeobacter piscinae strain P13 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from a turbot rearing facility. This organism is characterized by having four replicons, which may suggest a complex genomic architecture that could play a role in its adaptability or metabolic capabilities within aquaculture environments. The specific habitat of Phaeobacter piscinae str. P13 highlights its potential significance in aquaculture, particularly in the context of fish rearing. The turbot rearing facility provides a unique ecological niche where this bacterium could interact with other microbial communities, possibly influencing the health and growth of turbot fish. The organism's accession numbers, NZ_CP010768.1, NZ_CP010771.1, NZ_CP010773.1, and NZ_CP010774.1, indicate its genomic information is accessible for further study, which could aid in understanding its role in the rearing environment and its interactions with both aquatic organisms and the surrounding microbiota. In summary, Phaeobacter piscinae str. P13 exemplifies a specialized bacterium that may contribute to the microbial dynamics in aquaculture settings, potentially affecting the health and sustainability of fish farming practices. The investigation of this strain could provide insights into its ecological interactions and its potential applications in aquaculture management.
