Cryobacterium levicorallinum strain GMCC 1.11211

Cryobacterium levicorallinum strain GMCC 1.11211 is a Gram-positive, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This strain is categorized as psychrotolerant, with an optimal growth temperature of 16°C, indicating its ability to thrive in cold environments. The temperature range it can tolerate is indicative of its adaptation to frigid habitats, which is a significant trait for organisms in polar and subpolar regions. The strain possesses a single replicon, suggesting a streamlined genomic architecture that may facilitate efficient replication and adaptation in its ecological niche. The accession number for this strain is FOPW00000000.1, which can be used for further reference and genetic analysis. The psychrotolerant nature of Cryobacterium levicorallinum strain GMCC 1.11211 highlights its potential ecological role in cold ecosystems, where it may contribute to nutrient cycling and microbial diversity. Its ability to survive and grow at lower temperatures may allow it to exploit ecological niches that are inhospitable to many other microbial species. This adaptability underscores the significance of understanding microbial life in extreme environments, particularly in the context of climate change and its impact on biodiversity in polar regions.
