Gordonia effusa NBRC 100432

Gordonia effusa NBRC 100432 is a Gram-positive, non-motile bacterium characterized by its rod shape and ability to form spores. This species is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C, indicating its preference for moderate temperature environments. The presence of flagella suggests that it possesses the potential for motility, although it is classified as non-motile, which may imply that the flagella are not utilized for movement in its natural habitat. Gordonia effusa has a single replicon, as indicated by the number of replicons being one, which is a characteristic feature of many bacterial species. The accession number BAEH00000000.1 provides a reference for genetic sequencing data related to this organism. From an ecological perspective, the ability of Gordonia effusa to form spores may confer advantages in survival and persistence in various environments, particularly under unfavorable conditions. Spore formation is a significant trait for bacteria, allowing them to endure extreme environmental stressors, which can be crucial for their survival in diverse habitats. This trait may also play a role in the ecological niches that Gordonia effusa occupies, potentially influencing its interactions with other microorganisms and its role in the biodegradation of organic materials in its environment.
