Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum DSM 13490

Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum DSM 13490 is characterized as a Gram-negative bacterium with a rod-shaped morphology. This organism is notable for having a single replicon, which is an important genetic feature that can influence its replication and maintenance of genetic material. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FNPD00000000.1, which serves as a reference for researchers looking to access its genetic information. Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum is typically found in thermophilic environments, where it plays a role in anaerobic processes. Its ability to thrive in such conditions indicates its potential ecological role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling in high-temperature habitats. As a member of the microbial community in these environments, it may contribute to the breakdown of complex organic compounds, thereby facilitating energy flow and nutrient availability for other organisms within the ecosystem. Overall, the traits of Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum DSM 13490 highlight its significance in thermophilic anaerobic ecosystems, where its metabolic activities can influence both microbial diversity and the biochemical processes that sustain these unique environments.
