Asticcacaulis benevestitus DSM 16100 = ATCC BAA-896 strain DSM

Asticcacaulis benevestitus, designated as DSM 16100 and ATCC BAA-896, is a bacterial strain characterized by its single replicon structure. This trait is significant as it can influence the organism's genetic stability and replication processes. The strain is cataloged under the accession number AWGB00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genetic and genomic information. The genus Asticcacaulis is known for its unique ecological niches, often found in freshwater environments, which suggests that A. benevestitus may play a role in aquatic ecosystems. However, specific ecological interactions or functions of this strain are not detailed in the available data. Given its classification and replicon structure, A. benevestitus could be a subject of interest for studies related to microbial genetics and ecology. Understanding its biology may contribute to insights into microbial diversity and the potential applications of such bacteria in biotechnological processes or environmental management. Further research could elucidate the specific ecological roles and potentials of this strain in its native habitats.
