Cellulomonas cellasea DSM 20118

Cellulomonas cellasea DSM 20118 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its mesophilic nature, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. This organism is notable for having a single replicon, which is relevant for its genetic stability and replication processes. As a member of the genus Cellulomonas, it is likely involved in the degradation of cellulose, contributing to the carbon cycle by breaking down plant materials. The ability to efficiently decompose cellulose is significant for ecological systems, especially in environments rich in organic plant matter. The accession number for Cellulomonas cellasea DSM 20118 is AXNT00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genetic and genomic studies. Understanding the traits of this bacterium can help in exploring its applications in biotechnology, particularly in waste management and biofuel production, where cellulose degradation plays a critical role.
