Tessaracoccus oleiagri strain CGMCC 1.9159

Tessaracoccus oleiagri strain CGMCC 1.9159 is characterized as a Gram-positive, non-motile rod-shaped bacterium. This organism exhibits a facultative aerobe/anaerobe oxygen requirement, allowing it to thrive in varying oxygen conditions. It is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C, indicating its preference for moderate temperature environments. The genomic characteristics of T. oleiagri include the presence of a single replicon, which is relevant for its genetic stability and replication. Notably, this strain does not form spores, which may influence its survival strategies in various ecological niches. The isolation of Tessaracoccus oleiagri from oil-contaminated environments suggests its potential role in bioremediation processes. Its ability to grow under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions could allow it to adapt to different environmental circumstances, particularly in polluted sites where oxygen levels may fluctuate. Understanding the traits of T. oleiagri can provide insights into its ecological roles and applications in environmental microbiology. The genetic data is accessible via accession number FNGP00000000.1, which may facilitate further research into its metabolic pathways and environmental interactions.
