Methylobacterium sp. GXS13

Methylobacterium sp. GXS13 is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium, which is indicative of its morphological structure. This organism possesses flagella, suggesting that it is motile and capable of movement in its environment. Importantly, Methylobacterium sp. GXS13 contains a single replicon, which is significant for its genetic organization and replication process. The strain is cataloged under the accession number LKKO00000000.1, providing a unique identifier for researchers interested in its genomic data. This accession number allows for further exploration of its genetic makeup and potential applications in various fields. Methylobacterium species are known for their ability to utilize methanol as a carbon source, which plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle. The presence of flagella in Methylobacterium sp. GXS13 may facilitate its mobility toward methanol-rich environments, enhancing its ecological role in methanol degradation and contributing to soil health and nutrient cycling. This motility, combined with its rod shape, may also influence its interactions within microbial communities, potentially affecting plant-microbe interactions and promoting plant growth through beneficial associations.
