Pelobium manganitolerans str. YS-25

Pelobium manganitolerans strain YS-25 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and mesophilic nature, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. This organism exhibits a facultative aerobic/anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to thrive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-deprived environments. The genetic information for Pelobium manganitolerans str. YS-25 is contained within a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. The accession number for its genomic data is MBTA00000000.1. The ability of Pelobium manganitolerans to tolerate manganese suggests potential ecological roles in environments with elevated levels of this metal. This trait may enable the bacterium to participate in biogeochemical cycling of manganese and other elements, contributing to nutrient availability and ecological balance in its habitat. Such characteristics underscore the importance of microbial diversity in bioremediation processes and ecosystem functioning, particularly in environments impacted by metal contamination.
