Carnobacterium maltaromaticum LMA28

Carnobacterium maltaromaticum LMA28 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its chains of cells. This organism is a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives energy from organic compounds. It exhibits facultative anaerobic respiration, allowing it to thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum LMA28 is mesophilic, which indicates it grows optimally at moderate temperatures, although specific temperature ranges are not provided in the data. The bacterium does not exhibit mobility, as it lacks flagella, despite having a flagella presence noted. Importantly, it is nonsporulating and has a single replicon, indicating a simple genetic structure. This species is found in multiple habitats, suggesting a versatile ecological role in various environments. Its ability to utilize diverse organic substrates may contribute to nutrient cycling within these ecosystems. The presence of Carnobacterium maltaromaticum LMA28 in different habitats highlights its potential significance in biogeochemical processes, particularly in environments where organic matter is abundant.
