Flavobacterium gilvum strain EM1308

Flavobacterium gilvum strain EM1308 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This strain is non-motile and possesses flagella, which may play a role in its life cycle or environmental interactions despite lacking mobility. The optimal growth temperature for F. gilvum strain EM1308 is 29°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range suitable for growth in moderately warm environments. This strain has a single replicon, which indicates a streamlined genomic organization that may facilitate efficient replication and adaptation to environmental conditions. The accession number for this strain is JNCP00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic studies or comparisons with related bacterial strains. The ecological implications of F. gilvum strain EM1308 may be significant, particularly in the context of nutrient cycling and biodegradation processes in its natural habitat. As a member of the Flavobacteriaceae family, it is likely involved in the degradation of complex organic materials, contributing to the health of ecosystems where it resides. Its aerobic nature suggests a role in processes that require oxygen, potentially influencing the dynamics of microbial communities in various ecological niches.
