Sphingomonas psychrotolerans strain Cra20

Sphingomonas psychrotolerans strain Cra20 is a rod-shaped bacterium that possesses flagella, indicating its motility. This strain is characterized by the presence of a single replicon, which suggests a streamlined genomic organization typical of many bacteria. The accession number for this strain is NZ_CP024924.1, which can be used to locate its genomic data in biological databases. Sphingomonas psychrotolerans is notable for its psychrotolerant properties, allowing it to thrive in cold environments. This adaptability highlights its potential ecological role in polar and temperate habitats, where temperatures can be low. The motility conferred by flagella may enhance its ability to navigate through aqueous environments, facilitating interactions with other microorganisms and substances in its ecosystem. The understanding of Sphingomonas psychrotolerans strain Cra20's traits contributes to broader insights into the diversity of microbial life in cold environments and their adaptations to extreme conditions. Such knowledge can be essential for applications in biotechnology, where psychrotolerant bacteria may be harnessed for processes that require low-temperature conditions.
