Methylophilus rhizosphaerae strain CBMB127

Methylophilus rhizosphaerae strain CBMB127 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range. Notably, M. rhizosphaerae is non-spore-forming and possesses a single replicon, which is significant for its genetic stability and replication process. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FNFX00000000.1, indicating its inclusion in genomic databases for further research and reference. The aerobic nature of Methylophilus rhizosphaerae suggests that it relies on oxygen for its metabolic processes, which is typical for many bacteria that inhabit environments where oxygen is readily available. From a biological and ecological perspective, the traits of M. rhizosphaerae suggest its potential role in soil ecosystems, particularly in the rhizosphere, where it may interact with plant roots. Its ability to thrive in a mesophilic range and utilize aerobic respiration may facilitate nutrient cycling and contribute to the overall health of soil microbiomes. Understanding the characteristics of this strain can provide insights into its functional roles in supporting plant growth and soil fertility, emphasizing the importance of such microorganisms in ecological systems.
