Tenacibaculum mesophilum strain DSM 13764

Tenacibaculum mesophilum strain DSM 13764 is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium that belongs to the genus Tenacibaculum. This strain is notable for having a single replicon, which indicates a simplified genomic structure compared to other organisms that may possess multiple replicons. The genomic sequence of this strain is available under the accession number FQVV00000000.1, providing a critical resource for researchers interested in its genetic makeup and potential applications. The rod shape of Tenacibaculum mesophilum is typical among many bacteria, contributing to its motility and ecological adaptability. Rod-shaped bacteria often exhibit diverse metabolic capabilities, allowing them to thrive in various environments. This particular strain's mesophilic nature suggests that it is adapted to moderate temperature ranges, which may influence its ecological niches, such as marine or brackish habitats. Understanding the properties of Tenacibaculum mesophilum strain DSM 13764 can offer insights into its role within aquatic ecosystems, particularly in nutrient cycling and interactions with other microbial communities. Its unique morphological and genetic traits may also have implications for biotechnological applications, including bioremediation or the development of probiotic formulations for aquatic organisms. Overall, the study of this strain enhances our knowledge of microbial diversity and the ecological roles that bacteria play in sustaining environmental health.
