Lactobacillus farciminis strain CNCM-I-3699-R

Lactobacillus farciminis strain CNCM-I-3699-R is a rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium classified as a facultative anaerobe. This strain is a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds. Its optimal growth temperature is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to growth in moderate temperature environments. The strain possesses a single replicon and does not undergo sporulation, which is typical for many Lactobacillus species. Notably, it is characterized by the presence of flagella, although the implications of this for its motility are minimal, given its non-motile nature. Lactobacillus farciminis strain CNCM-I-3699-R is found in multiple habitats, indicating its adaptability to various ecological niches. This adaptability can be significant for its role in fermentation processes and its potential benefits in food microbiology and human health. The diverse habitats suggest that this strain may contribute to microbial communities in different environments, possibly influencing local ecosystems or human microbiota. The accession number CP012178.1 provides a reference for further genomic and taxonomic studies, supporting ongoing research into the functional roles of this strain in various biological contexts. Understanding the ecological implications of Lactobacillus farciminis will enhance our knowledge of its contributions to fermentation processes and its potential applications in probiotics and health-related fields.
