Methylotenera sp. RIFCSPLOWO2_02_FULL_45_14

Methylotenera sp. RIFCSPLOWO2_02_FULL_45_14 is a methylotrophic bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which likely facilitates motility in its environmental niche. This organism is notable for having a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization that may contribute to its metabolic efficiency and adaptability. The genomic data is cataloged under the accession MHBU00000000.1, providing a reference point for further research and exploration of its genetic attributes. As a member of the Methylotenera genus, this bacterium is expected to utilize methanol and other one-carbon compounds as carbon and energy sources, reflecting its ecological role in carbon cycling, particularly in environments abundant in methylated compounds. The presence of flagella could enhance its ability to colonize diverse habitats, potentially allowing it to thrive in fluctuating conditions where methanol is available. In summary, the key traits of Methylotenera sp. RIFCSPLOWO2_02_FULL_45_14, particularly its motility and genomic characteristics, suggest it plays a significant role in the biogeochemical processes involving methylotrophy. Understanding the ecological implications of this bacterium may provide insights into the dynamics of carbon cycling and the microbial communities in environments where one-carbon compounds are prevalent.
