Thalassobius maritimus strain DSM 28223

Thalassobius maritimus strain DSM 28223 is a marine microorganism primarily found in habitats associated with mariculture samples, microalgal cultures, and sandy environments. This strain demonstrates an aerobic oxygen requirement, indicating its metabolic processes necessitate oxygen for growth and survival. The organism is characterized by having a single replicon, which is relevant for understanding its genetic structure and potential for stability in various environments. Thalassobius maritimus has been documented to interact with hosts belonging to the phylum Mollusca, suggesting a potential ecological role in marine food webs or symbiotic relationships within these organisms. The accession number FQWM00000000.1 provides a reference for genetic and genomic studies related to this strain, facilitating further research into its biological functions and applications. Given its association with microalgal cultures and sandy marine environments, Thalassobius maritimus strain DSM 28223 may play a significant role in nutrient cycling and the dynamics of marine ecosystems, particularly in areas where mariculture is practiced. Understanding the traits and ecological interactions of Thalassobius maritimus can enhance our knowledge of marine microbiomes and their contributions to the health and productivity of marine environments, particularly in relation to molluscan hosts that are vital for aquaculture and biodiversity.
