Burkholderia cenocepacia PC184

Burkholderia cenocepacia PC184 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and presence of flagella, which contributes to its mobility. This organism is classified as a facultative aerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is mesophilic, indicating it prefers moderate temperature ranges for optimal growth. B. cenocepacia PC184 has a unique genomic structure, possessing one replicon, and is notable for its double membrane system, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. This species does not undergo sporulation, indicating that it relies on its metabolic versatility to adapt to varying environmental conditions. This bacterium is known to inhabit multiple habitats, existing as a free-living organism, which suggests it plays a role in various ecological niches. Its ability to adapt to different oxygen levels and its motility may contribute to its ecological success and resilience in diverse environments. Understanding the traits of B. cenocepacia PC184 can provide insights into its ecological roles, particularly in nutrient cycling and interactions with other microorganisms in its habitats. Its adaptability and free-living nature make it an interesting subject for further study in microbial ecology and environmental microbiology. The accession number for this strain is AAKX00000000.1, which can be referenced for genomic and other specific data.
