Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 13870 N_37

Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 13870 N_37 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium classified as a chemoorganotroph, utilizing organic compounds as an energy source. This strain is facultative, meaning it can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. However, it does not demonstrate mobility, as it lacks flagella. The optimal growth temperature for C. glutamicum ATCC 13870 N_37 is 30°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. The strain has a simple genomic structure, possessing a single replicon, which contributes to its genetic stability. Corynebacterium glutamicum is known for its non-pathogenic nature, indicating it poses no threat to human health. Additionally, it is nonsporulating, which means it does not form spores to survive adverse conditions. The strain is free-living, indicating it exists independently in its environment rather than in a symbiotic relationship with other organisms. The accession number for this strain is LOQV00000000.1, which provides a reference for genetic and phenotypic studies. In summary, C. glutamicum strain ATCC 13870 N_37 is a non-pathogenic, free-living bacterium that thrives optimally at 30°C and utilizes organic compounds for energy. Its characteristics align with its ecological role in nutrient cycling, particularly in environments rich in organic matter, thereby contributing to soil health and microbial diversity.
