Microbulbifer marinus strain CGMCC 1.10657

Microbulbifer marinus strain CGMCC 1.10657 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This strain is non-motile and thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C, categorizing it as mesophilic. Notably, it possesses a single replicon, which may influence its replication and genetic stability. The strain is part of the genus Microbulbifer, which is known for its ecological role in marine environments, particularly in the degradation of organic materials. The aerobic nature of Microbulbifer marinus indicates its reliance on oxygen for growth and metabolism, suggesting a potential involvement in biogeochemical cycles within its native habitat. Understanding the specific traits of Microbulbifer marinus strain CGMCC 1.10657 can provide insights into its ecological functions, particularly in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition in marine ecosystems. Its mesophilic characteristics suggest it could play a significant role in the microbial community dynamics in temperate marine environments. This knowledge contributes to the broader understanding of microbial diversity and the functional roles of bacteria in oceanic ecosystems.
