Aliiroseovarius crassostreae strain CV919-312

Aliiroseovarius crassostreae strain CV919-312 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It thrives at an optimal temperature of 32°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range. This strain possesses two replicons, which may contribute to its genetic adaptability. A notable aspect of A. crassostreae CV919-312 is its association with the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica. This relationship is significant as the bacterium has been linked to seasonal mortalities in these oyster populations. Such health effects highlight the ecological implications of the bacterium on marine life, particularly in relation to the sustainability of oyster fisheries. The genomic data for this strain is accessible through accession numbers LKBA00000000.1 and NZ_CM003503.1, allowing for further research into its genetic makeup and potential pathogenic mechanisms. Understanding the interactions between A. crassostreae CV919-312 and its host can provide insights into managing and mitigating the impacts of environmental factors that lead to oyster mortalities. This knowledge is crucial for preserving oyster populations and ensuring the health of marine ecosystems where they play a vital role.
