Hydrogenobacter hydrogenophilus strain DSM 2913

Hydrogenobacter hydrogenophilus strain DSM 2913 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology and the presence of flagella, which facilitate motility. This strain has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure that may contribute to its adaptability in various environments. The accession number associated with this strain is OBEN00000000.1, which can be used for further genomic and taxonomic reference. As a member of the genus Hydrogenobacter, this organism is likely to be involved in unique metabolic processes, particularly those related to hydrogen oxidation. The presence of flagella suggests that H. hydrogenophilus may actively navigate toward optimal environmental conditions, which is crucial for its survival and functionality in habitats where hydrogen is available as an energy source. From an ecological perspective, the role of Hydrogenobacter hydrogenophilus could be significant in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in environments where hydrogen is produced, such as geothermal springs or anaerobic sediments. Understanding its characteristics can provide insights into its ecological functions, such as its potential in bioremediation processes or its contributions to microbial communities in extreme environments.
