Spirosoma endophyticum strain DSM 26130

Spirosoma endophyticum strain DSM 26130 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This strain possesses true flagella, which contribute to its motility. It is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C, indicating that it thrives in moderate temperature conditions. The strain has a single replicon and is non-spore-forming, which suggests that it relies on its vegetative state for reproduction and survival under varying environmental conditions. The accession number for Spirosoma endophyticum strain DSM 26130 is FOLQ00000000.1, which can be used for further genetic and genomic studies. In terms of ecological significance, Spirosoma endophyticum likely plays a role in its microbial community, potentially interacting with other microorganisms in its environment. Given its aerobic nature, it may contribute to the cycling of nutrients in soil or plant-associated ecosystems. Its ability to thrive in moderate temperatures aligns with various ecological niches, allowing it to adapt to specific environments where similar mesophilic organisms are present. This adaptability and its non-spore-forming nature may influence its interactions with other species, making it a subject of interest for studies on microbial ecology and endophytic relationships.
