Rubritalea squalenifaciens DSM 18772

Rubritalea squalenifaciens DSM 18772 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This species thrives optimally at a temperature of 25°C, placing it within the mesophilic range, which is typically between 20°C and 45°C for microbial growth. With a single replicon, Rubritalea squalenifaciens has a streamlined genomic organization that may contribute to its adaptability in various environments. The accession number for this strain is FQYR00000000.1, which can be used for further genomic studies and comparisons with related microorganisms. The ecological implications of Rubritalea squalenifaciens may be significant, as its aerobic nature suggests a role in environments where oxygen is readily available. This could include soil and aquatic ecosystems, where it may participate in biogeochemical cycles or contribute to the breakdown of organic matter. Understanding its specific ecological niche and interactions with other microorganisms could provide insights into its function and importance in microbial communities.
