Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34mel

Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34mel is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in aquatic environments. As a facultative anaerobe, it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen, which allows it to adapt to varying conditions in its habitat. This organism is heterotrophic, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds, which is typical for bacteria found in aquatic systems where organic matter is available. A. salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34mel is motile, possessing flagella that facilitate movement in water. It has a mesophilic temperature range, indicating that it grows optimally at moderate temperatures. This adaptability to temperature and oxygen levels is crucial for its survival in diverse aquatic ecosystems. The bacterium has a single replicon and is characterized by a double membrane structure, which is a common feature of Gram-negative bacteria. A. salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34mel exists as a free-living organism, suggesting that it plays a role in the microbial communities of aquatic environments. The presence of this bacterium in aquatic habitats may have implications for nutrient cycling and the overall health of these ecosystems. Its ability to utilize organic matter could contribute to the decomposition process and influence the dynamics of microbial communities in its environment. Thus, A. salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34mel serves as an important player in the ecological balance within aquatic systems. The accession number for this strain is NZ_CP022426.1.
