Citrobacter amalonaticus Y19

Citrobacter amalonaticus Y19 is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella, which contribute to its motility. This species is notable for having two replicons, indicating a complex genomic structure that may facilitate adaptability in various environments. The accession numbers associated with Citrobacter amalonaticus Y19 are NZ_CP011132.1 and NZ_CP011133.1, which provide a means for researchers to access its genomic data for further study. The facultative anaerobic nature of this bacterium allows it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, suggesting its versatility in utilizing different metabolic pathways depending on the availability of oxygen. Biologically, the presence of flagella not only enables movement but may also play a role in the bacterium's ability to colonize diverse niches. This trait is particularly significant in ecological contexts, as it may enhance the organism's ability to compete for resources and adapt to varying environmental stresses. Understanding the characteristics of Citrobacter amalonaticus Y19 can provide insights into its ecological roles, potential applications in biotechnology, and its interactions within microbial communities.
