Chryseobacterium treverense strain DSM 22251

Chryseobacterium treverense strain DSM 22251 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and non-motile nature. This strain is notable for its psychrotolerant capabilities, with an optimal growth temperature of 16°C, allowing it to thrive in cooler environments. It has a single replicon and does not form spores, which is typical for many members of the Chryseobacterium genus. The psychrotolerant trait of Chryseobacterium treverense suggests its potential ecological role in cold environments, where it may contribute to nutrient cycling and microbial diversity in ecosystems such as polar regions or deep-sea habitats. Its ability to grow at low temperatures may also make it a candidate for biotechnological applications where cold-active enzymes are desirable. In conclusion, Chryseobacterium treverense strain DSM 22251 exemplifies the adaptations of microorganisms to cooler environments, highlighting the importance of such bacteria in ecological processes and their potential utility in various scientific and industrial applications.
