Arcanobacterium phocae strain DSM 10002

Arcanobacterium phocae strain DSM 10002 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its rod shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This strain possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. It is noteworthy for having flagella, which may contribute to its motility in its natural habitat. The strain is cataloged under the accession number NZ_LT629804.1, providing a reference point for researchers interested in its genetic makeup and potential applications. The microaerophilic nature of A. phocae suggests that it thrives in environments with limited oxygen, which could influence its ecological niche. In terms of biological and ecological insight, the presence of flagella in A. phocae may facilitate its movement in aquatic environments, potentially contributing to its survival and interaction with other microbial communities. Understanding this strain's adaptations to microaerobic conditions can provide valuable information about its role in marine ecosystems, especially in relation to nutrient cycling and interactions with other microorganisms.
