Rhizobium altiplani strain BR 10423

Rhizobium altiplani strain BR 10423 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and motility, facilitated by the presence of flagella. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 29°C, fitting within the mesophilic temperature range. It exhibits a single replicon structure and does not form spores. As a member of the Rhizobium genus, strain BR 10423 is likely involved in symbiotic nitrogen fixation, a critical ecological process that enhances soil fertility and supports plant growth. The motility conferred by flagella may facilitate the bacterium's movement towards plant roots, promoting effective colonization and symbiotic interactions. The strain's aerobic nature indicates its reliance on oxygen for metabolic processes, which is essential for its growth and overall functionality in the soil ecosystem. The unique traits of Rhizobium altiplani strain BR 10423 suggest its potential role in sustainable agriculture, particularly in nitrogen-poor soils. By forming symbiotic relationships with legumes, this strain can contribute to improved soil health and crop yields, emphasizing the ecological importance of such bacteria in agricultural practices. The accession number for this strain is LNCD00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic and functional studies.
