Rhodococcus tukisamuensis strain JCM 11308

Rhodococcus tukisamuensis strain JCM 11308 is a mesophilic bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which suggests motility in its habitat. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C, indicating its preference for warm environments within the mesophilic range. The genomic structure of R. tukisamuensis JCM 11308 is notable for having a single replicon, which may reflect a stable genetic organization. The sequence data for this strain is available under the accession FNAB00000000.1, providing a resource for further genomic studies. Ecologically, the presence of flagella in R. tukisamuensis JCM 11308 may facilitate its movement in various environments, potentially allowing it to colonize diverse substrates or interact with other microorganisms. This motility could contribute to its ecological role in nutrient cycling and bioremediation processes, which are often associated with the Rhodococcus genus.
