Dyadobacter psychrophilus strain DSM 22270

Dyadobacter psychrophilus strain DSM 22270 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its ovoid shape. This strain is strictly aerobic, meaning it requires oxygen for growth. It is non-motile, lacking flagella despite the presence of true flagella structures. The optimal growth temperature for D. psychrophilus is 16°C, placing it within the psychrotolerant category, as it can thrive in colder environments. This bacterium is notable for its single replicon, which contributes to its genetic stability and adaptability in specific ecological niches. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FUZA00000000.1, which aids in its identification and classification within microbial databases. The psychrotolerant nature of Dyadobacter psychrophilus suggests that it plays a significant role in cold environments, such as polar regions or deep-sea ecosystems, where temperatures are consistently low. Its ability to survive and potentially metabolize in these extreme conditions indicates its ecological importance in nutrient cycling and microbial community dynamics in cold habitats. Understanding the traits of D. psychrophilus can provide insights into the adaptations of microorganisms to cold environments and their roles in biogeochemical processes in such ecosystems.
