Kriegella aquimaris strain DSM 19886

Kriegella aquimaris strain DSM 19886 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 25°C and is classified as mesophilic, indicating its growth occurs within a moderate temperature range. Notably, K. aquimaris is non-spore-forming and possesses a single replicon. The aerobic nature of K. aquimaris suggests its reliance on oxygen for metabolic processes, which may influence its ecological niche and interactions within its environment. The motility of this strain may also play a role in its ability to colonize specific habitats or evade unfavorable conditions. As a member of the microbial community, K. aquimaris could contribute to nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems, particularly given its isolation from marine environments. Understanding the characteristics and behaviors of this bacterium can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential applications in biotechnology, such as bioremediation or bioindicator studies in marine ecosystems. The accession number for this strain is FNGV00000000.1, which facilitates access to genomic data for further research.
