Succinatimonas hippei YIT 12066

Succinatimonas hippei YIT 12066 is a Gram-negative, non-motile, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. It thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This bacterium contains a single replicon and does not form spores, indicating its reliance on specific environmental conditions for survival and reproduction. The anaerobic nature of Succinatimonas hippei suggests that it plays a role in environments devoid of oxygen, likely contributing to anaerobic metabolic processes. Its optimum growth temperature of 37°C aligns with the conditions found in various natural and human-associated environments, which may include the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. As a non-spore-forming organism, Succinatimonas hippei may have limited resilience to extreme environmental conditions compared to spore-forming bacteria. This trait emphasizes the importance of its ecological niche, where it may rely on stable conditions to maintain its viability. The accession number AEVO00000000.1 provides a reference for genetic and genomic studies, which could further elucidate the metabolic pathways and ecological roles of this bacterium. Understanding the biological characteristics of Succinatimonas hippei can offer insights into its potential contributions to microbial ecosystems, particularly in anaerobic environments, and its interactions with other microorganisms.
