Nereida ignava

Nereida ignava is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and psychrotolerant nature. This organism has a single replicon and is non-motile, indicating that it does not possess flagella or other structures for movement. N. ignava thrives optimally at a temperature of 16°C, which aligns with its classification as psychrotolerant, allowing it to grow in cooler environments. The ability of N. ignava to tolerate low temperatures is particularly significant in ecological contexts, as it suggests a potential role in nutrient cycling in cold marine ecosystems. Understanding the growth requirements and characteristics of such microorganisms can provide insights into their ecological niches and contributions to the overall health of marine environments. The accession number for N. ignava is CVQV00000000.1, which can be referenced for further genomic information.
