Massilia psychrophila strain JCM 30813 ZB100112

Massilia psychrophila strain JCM 30813 ZB100112 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This strain exhibits psychrotolerance, with an optimal growth temperature of 16°C, indicating its ability to thrive in cold environments. Its temperature range reflects a capability to grow at lower temperatures, which is typical for psychrotolerant microorganisms. This strain features a single replicon and is noted for its ability to form spores, a trait that can enhance its survival in adverse conditions. The accession number for this strain is PDOB00000000.1, which serves as a reference for its genetic information. The ecological significance of Massilia psychrophila strain JCM 30813 ZB100112 lies in its adaptation to cold habitats, which are increasingly relevant in the context of climate change and shifting ecosystems. Its psychrotolerant nature allows it to play a potential role in biogeochemical cycles in cold environments, particularly in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. This suggests a vital ecological function in maintaining the balance of microbial communities in such ecosystems, contributing to their resilience and stability.
