Stutzerimonas stutzeri NF13

Stutzerimonas stutzeri NF13 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its aerobic metabolism and heterotrophic energy source. This species exhibits a unique cell arrangement as it typically exists as single cells. Notably, Stutzerimonas stutzeri NF13 is non-motile, although it possesses flagella, which may play a role in its physiology or ecological interactions. The bacterium thrives within host-associated habitats and is classified as free-living, indicating its ability to exist independently in various environments. Stutzerimonas stutzeri NF13 is mesophilic, meaning it grows optimally within moderate temperature ranges. The organism contains one replicon and has a double membrane structure, which is a characteristic feature of Gram-negative bacteria. The presence of Stutzerimonas stutzeri NF13 in host-associated environments highlights its potential ecological roles, including nutrient cycling and interactions with other microorganisms. Its heterotrophic nature suggests it may contribute to the degradation of organic matter, which can be crucial for ecosystem functioning. Understanding this bacterium's specific roles in its habitat can provide insights into the dynamics of microbial communities and their contributions to environmental health. Accessed through the accession number AOBS00000000.1, Stutzerimonas stutzeri NF13 presents an interesting subject for further research into its ecological functions and interactions within its community.
