Gloeobacter kilaueensis JS1

Gloeobacter kilaueensis JS1 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella. This flagellation suggests a level of motility, which may play a role in its ecological interactions and survival. The strain possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization. The organism is documented in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database under the accession number NC_022600.1, which provides a reference for researchers investigating its genetic makeup and potential applications in biotechnology or ecology. In terms of ecological significance, Gloeobacter kilaueensis JS1 may inhabit environments where its motility aids in nutrient acquisition or colonization of specific niches. Its Gram-negative classification reveals a complex cell wall structure, potentially influencing its interactions with other microorganisms and its resilience to environmental stresses. Understanding the biological and ecological roles of this bacterium can inform studies on microbial ecology and the dynamics of microbial communities in various habitats.
