Algoriphagus boritolerans DSM 17298 = JCM 18970

Algoriphagus boritolerans DSM 17298 = JCM 18970 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This species is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. The organism contains a single replicon, and its genomic information is accessible under the accession FNVR00000000.1. The traits of Algoriphagus boritolerans suggest its adaptation to moderate temperature environments, likely influencing its ecological niche. Its non-motile nature may limit its dispersal capabilities, potentially resulting in a more specialized habitat preference. The Gram-negative classification indicates the presence of an outer membrane, which may play a significant role in its interactions with the environment, such as in nutrient uptake or defense against competing microbial species. Understanding the characteristics of Algoriphagus boritolerans contributes to the broader knowledge of microbial diversity in various habitats, particularly those that exhibit moderate temperatures. This bacterium's specific traits may influence its ecological roles, such as in nutrient cycling or interactions within microbial communities. The study of such organisms enhances our understanding of microbial ecology and the complex relationships that sustain ecosystems.
