Shewanella sp. CG12_big_fil_rev_8_21_14_0_65_47_15

Shewanella sp. CG12_big_fil_rev_8_21_14_0_65_47_15 is a bacterial isolate characterized by the presence of flagella, which suggests potential motility. The presence of flagella can play a crucial role in the organism's ability to navigate its environment, possibly aiding in colonization or biofilm formation. This strain has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure, which can be advantageous for efficient replication and regulation of genetic material. The genomic data for Shewanella sp. CG12 is cataloged under the accession number PFGL00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic analysis and comparisons with other Shewanella species. The Shewanella genus is known for its versatility in various ecological niches, especially in aquatic environments, where they contribute to biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the reduction of metal ions. The motility conferred by flagella may enhance the organism's ability to interact with its environment, such as scavenging for nutrients or participating in electron transfer processes in sediment-based ecosystems. Overall, Shewanella sp. CG12_big_fil_rev_8_21_14_0_65_47_15 demonstrates key traits that align with the ecological role of Shewanella species as important players in microbial communities, particularly in environments where electron acceptors are limited, thus contributing to the cycling of elements like carbon and nitrogen.
