Halomonas elongata strain HEK1

Halomonas elongata strain HEK1 is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium characterized by its bacilli shape and mobility, attributed to the presence of flagella. This strain demonstrates mesophilic growth, thriving within moderate temperature ranges. The genetic makeup of Halomonas elongata HEK1 is defined by a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. As a free-living organism, Halomonas elongata HEK1 plays an important role in its ecological niche, likely contributing to nutrient cycling and interactions within its environment. The ability to survive in varying oxygen levels suggests adaptability, allowing it to inhabit diverse habitats where oxygen availability may fluctuate. Its mobility, facilitated by flagella, enhances its potential for colonization and resource acquisition. Research and access to this strain are documented under the accession number MAJD00000000.1, providing a reference for further studies. The distinct characteristics of Halomonas elongata strain HEK1 highlight its significance in microbiological research, particularly in understanding the dynamics of microbial life in various ecological contexts.
