Pseudoalteromonas piscicida strain S1948

Pseudoalteromonas piscicida strain S1948 is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its mobility. This strain has been isolated from diverse marine environments, specifically Delaware Bay, Hainan Island, and mariculture water, indicating its adaptability to various aquatic ecosystems. Notably, P. piscicida strain S1948 possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic organization. The strain is cataloged under the accession number PNEI00000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic studies and comparisons with other strains within the Pseudoalteromonas genus. Ecologically, the presence of Pseudoalteromonas piscicida in mariculture waters highlights its potential role in marine aquaculture systems. Given its marine habitat, this bacterium may contribute to the microbial dynamics of these environments, possibly influencing the health and productivity of cultured species. Understanding the ecological interactions of P. piscicida can provide insights into its role in nutrient cycling and its potential applications in biocontrol or bioremediation efforts in marine ecosystems.
