Flavobacterium enshiense DK69

Flavobacterium enshiense DK69 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. It is non-motile and possesses true flagella, although its lack of mobility suggests that these flagella may not contribute to locomotion in a traditional sense. This organism thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C and is classified as mesophilic, indicating that it grows best within moderate temperature ranges. F. enshiense DK69 has a single replicon, which is an important trait for understanding its genetic organization. Additionally, it is non-spore-forming, implying that it does not produce spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions. The accession number associated with this strain is JRLZ00000000.1, which is relevant for researchers seeking to access its genomic information. From an ecological perspective, the characteristics of Flavobacterium enshiense DK69 suggest that it may play a role in various environmental processes, particularly in aquatic systems where aerobic conditions prevail. Its non-motility and preference for moderate temperatures could influence its interactions with other microbial communities, potentially affecting nutrient cycling and organic matter degradation in its habitat. Understanding the ecological role of such bacteria can provide insights into the dynamics of microbial communities in specific environments.
