Anoxybacillus flavithermus NBRC 109594

Anoxybacillus flavithermus NBRC 109594 is a thermophilic, gram-positive bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella, which contribute to its mobility. This organism is classified as a facultative aerobe, enabling it to thrive in environments with varying oxygen levels. It has an optimal growth temperature of 60°C and is capable of surviving within a specific temperature range typical of thermophiles. This bacterium is free-living and possesses the ability to sporulate, which allows it to endure adverse conditions. Anoxybacillus flavithermus NBRC 109594 has a single replicon and one membrane, indicative of its cellular structure. The organism is cataloged under the accession number BARH00000000.1, which provides a reference for further research. The specialized habitat of Anoxybacillus flavithermus suggests its adaptation to specific environmental conditions, likely those found in high-temperature environments such as hot springs or geothermal areas. The ability to sporulate can be crucial for its survival in such habitats, allowing it to withstand extreme conditions that may occur intermittently. Understanding the ecological role of Anoxybacillus flavithermus can provide insights into microbial diversity and the functioning of thermophilic communities in extreme environments.
