Hyphomicrobium denitrificans 1NES1

Hyphomicrobium denitrificans 1NES1 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized as aerobic and exhibiting a bacilli shape. This organism is non-motile, possessing flagella, which may indicate a capacity for other forms of movement or attachment in its environment, despite lacking the ability to swim independently. It thrives within a mesophilic temperature range, suitable for growth at moderate temperatures. H. denitrificans 1NES1 is classified as free-living, which suggests it can exist independently without reliance on a host. This feature allows it to inhabit various ecological niches, where it may contribute to nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics. The bacterium has a single replicon, indicating a relatively simple genomic organization that could reflect its ecological adaptability. The accession number NC_021172.1 provides a reference for the genomic sequence of H. denitrificans 1NES1, facilitating further research into its genetic and metabolic pathways. Understanding the traits of this bacterium is crucial for exploring its role in denitrification processes, where it may participate in the nitrogen cycle, thereby impacting soil fertility and environmental health. Overall, H. denitrificans 1NES1 serves as an important organism within microbial ecology, particularly in contexts related to denitrification and nutrient cycling in various habitats.
