Paraburkholderia megapolitana strain LMG 23650

Paraburkholderia megapolitana strain LMG 23650 is a Gram-negative, non-motile rod bacterium that requires oxygen for growth, classifying it as aerobic. This strain exhibits optimal growth at a temperature of 29°C and is categorized as mesophilic, indicating its preference for moderate temperature ranges. Notably, it contains a true flagellum, although it does not display mobility, which may suggest a specific adaptation to its ecological niche. Paraburkholderia megapolitana strain LMG 23650 has a single replicon and is characterized as non-spore-forming, which implies that it does not produce spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions. The strain is documented in the accession number FOQU00000000.1, providing a reference for researchers interested in further studies. The ecological insights of this strain may relate to its oxygen requirement and temperature preferences, suggesting it could inhabit environments where aerobic conditions and moderate temperatures prevail. Such habitats might include soil or plant-associated environments, where it could play a role in nutrient cycling or plant interactions. Understanding the specific ecological roles of Paraburkholderia megapolitana strain LMG 23650 may contribute to knowledge regarding microbial diversity and function in various ecosystems.
