Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii strain TUA4408L

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii strain TUA4408L is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a chain cell arrangement. This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is non-motile and does not possess flagella. The optimal growth temperature for TUA4408L is 42°C, situating it within a mesophilic temperature range. The strain has a single replicon and a single membrane, characteristics typical of many bacteria in the Lactobacillus genus. TUA4408L is free-living, indicating it exists independently in various habitats. Its genetic information is accessible under the accession number NZ_CP021136.1. The ability to thrive in diverse environments, combined with its mesophilic nature, suggests that Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii strain TUA4408L may play significant roles in various ecological niches, potentially contributing to fermentation processes and the maintenance of microbial balance in its habitats. This capability to adapt to different oxygen levels further highlights its ecological versatility, making it an important organism for studying microbial interactions and applications in food science and biotechnology.
