Corynebacterium humireducens NBRC 106098 = DSM 45392

Corynebacterium humireducens NBRC 106098, also known as DSM 45392, is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. It exhibits facultative aerobe/anaerobe metabolic capabilities, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This organism is non-motile, which influences its ecological interactions and habitat preferences. C. humireducens is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, indicating its adaptation to moderate temperature environments, which may include human-associated or soil ecosystems. The bacterium possesses a single replicon, which is an essential factor in its genetic stability and replication processes. The strain is cataloged under the accession number NZ_CP005286.1, providing a reference point for genomic studies and further research. Understanding the characteristics and environmental preferences of C. humireducens can offer insights into its ecological role, particularly in terms of its potential in bioremediation or nutrient cycling within its habitat. The ability to survive in varying oxygen conditions suggests adaptability, which could be advantageous in fluctuating environmental contexts. Overall, C. humireducens represents a significant microbial species with potential implications for environmental microbiology and biotechnology.
