Clostridium sulfidigenes strain 113A

Clostridium sulfidigenes strain 113A is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. It is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 32°C. This environmental preference indicates that it thrives in moderate temperature conditions, which is relevant when considering its ecological niches. C. sulfidigenes strain 113A possesses a single replicon and is capable of sporulation, allowing it to form spores that enhance its survival in adverse conditions. The ability to form spores is a key feature of many Clostridium species, providing them resilience against environmental stresses such as nutrient deprivation and extreme temperatures. The strain is cataloged under the accession number JPMD00000000.1, which provides a reference for further studies or data collection related to its genetic and phenotypic characteristics. From a biological and ecological perspective, the anaerobic nature of C. sulfidigenes suggests its role in anaerobic environments, potentially contributing to biogeochemical cycles, such as sulfur cycling, in sediments or other anoxic habitats. Its ability to thrive in such environments underscores its importance in microbial ecology and its potential applications in bioremediation or biotechnological processes where anaerobic conditions prevail.
