Ectopseudomonas oleovorans CECT 5344 strain CECT5344

Ectopseudomonas oleovorans CECT 5344, designated as CECT5344, is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a chemoheterotroph, utilizing organic compounds for energy. This strain is classified as an aerobic organism, requiring oxygen for its metabolic processes. CECT5344 exhibits mobility, which is attributed to the presence of flagella. The optimal growth temperature for Ectopseudomonas oleovorans CECT 5344 is 30°C, placing it in the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to growth in environments that are neither too hot nor too cold. This adaptability allows the organism to thrive in multiple habitats, although specific environments are not detailed. Ectopseudomonas oleovorans CECT 5344 is characterized by having a single replicon and is nonsporulating, indicating that it does not form spores under environmental stress. The strain is cataloged under the accession number NZ_HG916826.1, which is important for identification and research purposes. In summary, Ectopseudomonas oleovorans CECT 5344 exemplifies a versatile microbial organism with specific growth requirements and characteristics. Its ability to thrive in diverse habitats and its aerobic metabolism may play a significant role in biogeochemical cycling, particularly in environments enriched with organic compounds. This trait suggests potential ecological contributions in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition within its ecosystems.
