Gordonia amicalis NBRC 100051 = JCM 11271

Gordonia amicalis NBRC 100051 = JCM 11271 is an aerobic actinobacterium characterized by its mesophilic nature, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. This organism possesses true flagella, which may contribute to its motility in various environments. Gordonia amicalis has been cataloged with one replicon, indicating a relatively simple genomic organization. The strain is classified under the GenBank accession number BANS00000000.1, which serves as a reference for its genetic material. The aerobic requirement highlights its dependence on oxygen for growth and metabolism, suggesting its potential role in environments where oxygen is available. From a biological and ecological perspective, the presence of Gordonia amicalis in environments rich in organic compounds may be significant, as many Gordonia species are known for their ability to degrade a wide range of environmental pollutants, including aromatic compounds. This trait may position Gordonia amicalis as a candidate for bioremediation applications, particularly in polluted habitats where aerobic conditions prevail. Further research into its metabolic capabilities could enhance our understanding of its ecological roles and applications in environmental microbiology.
