Phenylobacterium sp. SCN 70-31

Phenylobacterium sp. SCN 70-31 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology and the presence of flagella, which suggests motility. This organism contains a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure typical of many prokaryotic species. The accession number for this bacterium is MEEX00000000.1, which serves as a reference for its genetic and genomic data. The classification of Phenylobacterium sp. within the broader family of bacteria indicates its potential role in various ecological niches, particularly those involving phenolic compounds, as is common for members of the Phenylobacterium genus. From a biological perspective, the motility conferred by flagella may facilitate the organism's ability to navigate through its environment, potentially allowing it to exploit resources more effectively or evade competitive pressures. The Gram-negative nature of Phenylobacterium sp. SCN 70-31 may also confer certain advantages, such as resistance to specific antibiotics and the ability to form biofilms, which are important for survival in diverse habitats. Overall, the characteristics of Phenylobacterium sp. SCN 70-31 suggest that it may play a significant role in its ecosystem, particularly in processes related to the degradation of organic materials, including phenolic compounds, thus contributing to nutrient cycling and energy flow within its habitat.
