Flavobacterium granuli strain DSM 19729

Flavobacterium granuli strain DSM 19729 is a Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium with an aerobic oxygen requirement. It is classified within the mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. This organism contains a single replicon and is categorized as non-spore-forming, indicating that it does not produce spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions. The presence of flagella suggests that Flavobacterium granuli may possess motility capabilities; however, it is noted as non-motile, leading to a consideration of its lifestyle and ecological roles. This bacterium's ability to thrive in aerobic environments aligns with the ecological niches it may occupy, likely contributing to the degradation of organic matter in various habitats. The genomic accessions for Flavobacterium granuli strain DSM 19729, specifically FQWO00000000.1, provide a basis for further genomic and functional studies that could elucidate its metabolic pathways and ecological interactions. Understanding the characteristics of this strain contributes to the broader knowledge of the Flavobacterium genus, which is known for its role in biogeochemical cycles and potential applications in biotechnology. The insights gained from studying this bacterium may enhance our understanding of its ecological functions and its potential utility in environmental microbiology.
