Sphingobacterium alkalisoli str. Y3L14

Sphingobacterium alkalisoli str. Y3L14 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and non-motile nature. This organism thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C, positioning it within the mesophilic range, indicating its preference for moderate temperatures. The bacterium possesses a single replicon, which is an important trait for its genomic structure and replication. Notably, Sphingobacterium alkalisoli str. Y3L14 is non-spore-forming, suggesting that its survival strategy does not rely on sporulation, a common trait in many other bacterial species for enduring harsh environmental conditions. The organism's classification and genetic information can be referenced through its accession number, SUKA00000000.1, which provides a basis for further genetic and biochemical studies. From an ecological perspective, Sphingobacterium alkalisoli str. Y3L14 may play a role in the degradation of organic materials in its environment, particularly in alkaline soils, given its association with the genus Sphingobacterium, which is known for its versatility in various ecological niches. Its aerobic nature suggests it contributes to biogeochemical cycles, particularly in environments where oxygen is present. This bacterium exemplifies the diversity of microbial life and its potential applications in environmental biotechnology, especially in soil health and maintenance.
