Muribaculum gordoncarteri strain TLL-A4

Muribaculum gordoncarteri strain TLL-A4 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium characterized as a chemoheterotroph, relying on organic compounds for energy. This strain is known to inhabit multiple environments, indicating its versatility in ecological niches. It possesses flagella, which are typically associated with motility, although this strain does not exhibit mobility. The optimal growth temperature for Muribaculum gordoncarteri strain TLL-A4 is 5°C, suggesting that it may thrive in cooler habitats, potentially including environments such as cold waters or permafrost regions. This characteristic could imply its adaptation to specific ecological conditions that support its survival and metabolic functions. Muribaculum gordoncarteri strain TLL-A4 has a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic organization. Additionally, it is nonsporulating, meaning it does not form spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions, which is a trait that can influence its ecological resilience. The strain is cataloged under the accession number NZ_CP039395.1, providing a reference for further genetic and genomic studies. Understanding the ecological role of Muribaculum gordoncarteri strain TLL-A4 can contribute to our knowledge of microbial diversity in cooler habitats. Its chemoheterotrophic nature may play a significant role in the decomposition of organic matter in these environments, influencing nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics.
