Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis strain CCUG 45958

Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis strain CCUG 45958 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which suggests motility. This strain has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization. The genomic information for this strain can be accessed through the accession number NZ_CP014229.1. Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis is part of the Desulfovibrio genus, which is known for its role in sulfate reduction, a critical process in the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur in various environments. The presence of flagella may enhance its ability to navigate toward electron donors or favorable environmental conditions, thus influencing its ecological role, particularly in anaerobic environments where sulfate is available. In summary, Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis strain CCUG 45958 exhibits key traits such as being Gram-negative, motile due to flagella, and having a single replicon. Its ecological significance is tied to its potential involvement in sulfate reduction, which can impact sulfur cycling and the health of anaerobic ecosystems.
