Nostoc calcicola FACHB-389

Nostoc calcicola FACHB-389 is a Gram-negative, filamentous cyanobacterium. It is characterized by the presence of flagella, which aids in motility. This organism has a single replicon, indicating a straightforward genomic organization. The accession number for its genomic data is MRBZ00000000.1, which provides a reference point for further genetic studies and analysis. Ecologically, Nostoc species, including N. calcicola, are often found in a variety of habitats, including freshwater environments and moist soils. They play significant roles in nitrogen fixation, contributing to nutrient cycling within their ecosystems. The filamentous form allows for effective colonization of surfaces in aquatic and terrestrial environments, enhancing their survival and ecological interactions. This characteristic, combined with their motility due to flagella, suggests that N. calcicola can navigate through different microenvironments, optimizing its growth conditions and ecological contributions.
