Chryseobacterium taichungense strain DSM 17453

Chryseobacterium taichungense strain DSM 17453 is a Gram-negative, non-motile rod-shaped bacterium. This strain is classified as aerobic, requiring oxygen for its metabolic processes. It thrives optimally at a temperature of 25°C and is categorized as mesophilic, indicating its temperature range is suitable for growth in moderate conditions. Chryseobacterium taichungense DSM 17453 is characterized by its single replicon, which suggests a streamlined genetic organization typical of many bacteria in its genus. Additionally, this strain does not form spores, indicating a reliance on other survival strategies rather than sporulation under adverse conditions. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FOBV00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genetic and functional studies. From a biological and ecological perspective, the traits of Chryseobacterium taichungense imply a potential role in various environmental niches, particularly in moderate temperature habitats. Its aerobic nature suggests it may contribute to the decomposition of organic matter in oxygen-rich environments, playing a part in nutrient cycling. The lack of motility and non-spore-forming characteristics may limit its dispersal mechanisms, but it could still be significant in stable environments where it can thrive and interact with other microbial communities.
