Cellulomonas marina strain CGMCC 4.6945

Cellulomonas marina strain CGMCC 4.6945 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized as a facultative aerobe/anaerobe. This organism exhibits a spherical shape and thrives optimally at a temperature of 25°C, categorizing it as mesophilic. Notably, Cellulomonas marina is non-spore-forming and possesses a single replicon, indicating a relatively simple genomic structure. This strain contributes to our understanding of microbial diversity, particularly in marine environments, where it may play a role in the degradation of cellulose and other organic materials. Its facultative lifestyle suggests that it can adapt to varying oxygen levels, which is advantageous in fluctuating ecological niches. The ability to function under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions allows C. marina to exploit a broader range of environments, potentially enhancing its ecological significance in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. The accession number for this strain is FOKA00000000.1, which provides a reference point for further genomic studies and comparative analyses with other members of the Cellulomonas genus. Overall, Cellulomonas marina strain CGMCC 4.6945 exemplifies the adaptability and ecological roles of marine bacteria, highlighting their importance in maintaining the health and balance of marine ecosystems.
