Sulfurovum riftiae str. 1812E

Sulfurovum riftiae str. 1812E is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and motility, which is facilitated by the presence of true flagella. It thrives at an optimal temperature of 37°C, placing it in the mesophilic range, indicating that it prefers moderate temperature conditions for growth. This bacterium has a single replicon, which refers to the presence of one circular DNA molecule, a trait commonly found in prokaryotes. The genomic accession number for Sulfurovum riftiae str. 1812E is LNKT00000000.1, which allows for its identification and further study in genomic databases. The ecological significance of Sulfurovum riftiae str. 1812E may be linked to its anaerobic metabolism, which suggests it plays a role in sulfur cycles, especially in environments where oxygen is limited. This could include habitats such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents or anoxic sediments where sulfur compounds are prevalent. Understanding the characteristics and ecological roles of such organisms contributes to our knowledge of microbial diversity and the biogeochemical processes they influence in their respective environments.
