Stutzerimonas stutzeri strain YC-YH1

Stutzerimonas stutzeri strain YC-YH1 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a heterotrophic aerobe. It is characterized by its single-cell arrangement and the presence of flagella, although it is noted to have no mobility. This strain has a mesophilic temperature range, indicating its optimal growth occurs at moderate temperatures. The bacterium is free-living and associated with a variety of hosts, including members of the Viridiplantae kingdom, citrus plants, serpents, and the insect Diaphorina citri. The ecological relationships it forms with these hosts underscore its potential role in diverse environments, particularly in plant-associated systems. Stutzerimonas stutzeri strain YC-YH1 has a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, a characteristic typical of Gram-negative bacteria. The accession number for this strain is JUDR00000000.1, which allows for further exploration and identification in genomic databases. The presence of this bacterium in various host organisms suggests its ecological versatility and potential importance in microbial interactions within these ecosystems. Its association with both plants and animals indicates that it may play a role in nutrient cycling or other ecological processes, which could be significant for understanding microbial dynamics in host-associated habitats.
