Lutibacter profundi str. LP1

Lutibacter profundi str. LP1 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This microorganism demonstrates a microaerophilic oxygen requirement, thriving in environments with low levels of oxygen. It possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic organization and replication strategy. The accession number for Lutibacter profundi str. LP1 is NZ_CP013355.1, which provides a reference for genomic studies and bioinformatics analyses. This strain is part of a broader understanding of the diversity of microbial life found in various ecological niches. The microaerophilic nature of Lutibacter profundi str. LP1 suggests that it may play a role in specific ecological processes where oxygen levels are limited. Such environments could include certain sediment layers in aquatic systems or the gastrointestinal tracts of various organisms. The presence of this bacterium in such niches highlights its potential contribution to biogeochemical cycles, particularly in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. Understanding the characteristics and ecological roles of Lutibacter profundi str. LP1 can provide insights into the complex interactions within microbial communities and their influence on ecosystem dynamics.
