Hymenobacter glacialis str. CCM 8648

Hymenobacter glacialis str. CCM 8648 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. This organism possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic structure. The complete genomic data for this strain is available under the accession number MDZC00000000.1. Hymenobacter species, including H. glacialis, are often found in various environmental settings, including extreme environments such as cold habitats. Their adaptation to such conditions may provide insights into the mechanisms of survival and metabolic processes under low-temperature conditions, contributing to our understanding of microbial life in polar ecosystems. The ecological role of Hymenobacter glacialis str. CCM 8648 may involve participation in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes within its habitat. Given its Gram-negative nature, it likely has a complex outer membrane that may enable it to interact with various substrates and environmental factors effectively. The study of this strain could reveal important information about microbial diversity in cold environments and the potential biotechnological applications of cold-adapted bacteria.
