Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus NBRC 13350

Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus NBRC 13350 is a Gram-positive, aerobic bacterium characterized by its filamentous cell arrangement and tailed shape. This species is heterotrophic, relying on organic compounds for energy. It possesses flagella, which allows for mobility within its diverse habitats. The optimal growth temperature for S. griseus subsp. griseus is 25°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This bacterium has a single replicon and a single membrane, which are typical features of many bacterial species. Notably, S. griseus subsp. griseus is non-pathogenic and exists as a free-living organism, indicating that it does not rely on a host for survival. One of the significant features of this subspecies is its ability to sporulate, a process that enables it to survive in unfavorable conditions. The genetic information for S. griseus subsp. griseus can be accessed through accession number NC_010572.1, which provides insight into its genomic characteristics. Ecologically, the presence of S. griseus subsp. griseus in various habitats suggests its adaptability and role in nutrient cycling. Its capacity for sporulation may contribute to its persistence in the environment, allowing it to withstand adverse conditions while playing a crucial role in soil health and microbial diversity.
