Flavobacterium frigoris strain DSM 15719

Flavobacterium frigoris strain DSM 15719 is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium that possesses flagella, indicating its capability for motility. This strain is notable for having a single replicon, which is a feature that can influence its genetic stability and replication processes. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FOFZ00000000.1, providing a reference for researchers seeking to access its genomic information. The presence of flagella in Flavobacterium frigoris suggests adaptations to its environment, allowing it to navigate through aquatic habitats where it is likely found. Members of the Flavobacterium genus are often associated with cold environments, which aligns with the name "frigoris," meaning cold, and indicates that this strain may thrive in polar or temperate aquatic ecosystems. The ecological role of Flavobacterium frigoris may include participation in the degradation of organic matter in cold water environments, contributing to nutrient cycling and energy flow in these ecosystems. By breaking down complex organic materials, this bacterium could play a vital role in maintaining the health of its habitat, supporting the growth of other microorganisms and influencing the overall biodiversity of its ecological community. This characteristic highlights the importance of understanding microbial life in extreme environments and its implications for ecosystem dynamics.
