Mycolicibacterium aromaticivorans JS19b1 = JCM 16368 strain JS19b1

Mycolicibacterium aromaticivorans strain JS19b1, also designated as JCM 16368, is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium. This organism is notable for its possession of flagella, which suggests that it has the capability for motility. The genetic makeup of strain JS19b1 includes a single replicon, indicating a simpler genomic structure compared to organisms with multiple replicons. The strain is cataloged under the accession number JALN00000000.2, which provides a reference for its genetic sequence and facilitates further research and study. Mycolicibacterium aromaticivorans is known for its aromatic compound degradation, which contributes to its ecological role in the bioremediation of contaminated environments. The presence of flagella in this strain may enhance its ability to navigate toward nutrient sources or away from harmful substances, thereby playing an important role in its survival and ecological interactions. Understanding the traits of Mycolicibacterium aromaticivorans JS19b1 can provide insights into its potential applications in environmental microbiology, particularly in the degradation of pollutants and the maintenance of ecosystem health.
