Agrobacterium sp. SCN 61-19

Agrobacterium sp. SCN 61-19 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which facilitate motility. This organism possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure that may influence its replication and stability in various environments. The accession number for this strain is MEDN00000000.1, which serves as a unique identifier for its genomic data. The Gram-negative classification of Agrobacterium sp. SCN 61-19 suggests that it has a thin peptidoglycan layer situated between two membranes, which may contribute to its adaptability and survival in diverse ecological niches. The presence of flagella is particularly noteworthy, as it implies that the bacterium can move toward favorable conditions or away from harmful stimuli, enhancing its ability to thrive in competitive environments. From an ecological perspective, Agrobacterium species are known for their role in plant interactions, particularly in the context of plant pathogenicity and genetic engineering. While specific pathogenic traits of SCN 61-19 are not detailed in the provided traits, the genus Agrobacterium is renowned for its ability to transfer DNA to plants, which could have implications for agricultural practices and biotechnological applications. Understanding the motility and genetic characteristics of Agrobacterium sp. SCN 61-19 can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential uses in research and industry.
