Dictyobacter aurantiacus S-27

Dictyobacter aurantiacus S-27 is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium characterized as a heterotroph, relying on organic compounds for its energy source. This organism exhibits an aerobic metabolism, necessitating oxygen for its growth and survival. Its optimal growth temperature is 29°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which typically spans from 20°C to 45°C. The genetic structure of Dictyobacter aurantiacus S-27 is defined by a single replicon, which is significant for its replication and genetic stability. The organism is cataloged under the accession number BIFQ00000000.1, which facilitates its identification and classification within microbial databases. The ability of Dictyobacter aurantiacus S-27 to form spores is a noteworthy trait, providing it with a means to endure unfavorable environmental conditions. This sporulation capability may allow the bacterium to survive in varying habitats, contributing to its ecological resilience and adaptability. In an ecological context, the heterotrophic nature of Dictyobacter aurantiacus S-27 suggests that it plays a role in the decomposition of organic materials, potentially impacting nutrient cycling within its environment. Its aerobic requirements may also indicate its involvement in soil ecosystems, where oxygen availability is critical. Understanding the traits of Dictyobacter aurantiacus S-27 enhances our knowledge of microbial diversity and the functional roles that such organisms play in their respective ecosystems.
