Celeribacter persicus strain DSM 100434

Celeribacter persicus strain DSM 100434 is characterized as a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium with a rod shape. This strain is non-motile and exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. Celeribacter persicus is noted for having a single replicon and is non-spore-forming. The Gram-negative classification of Celeribacter persicus indicates the presence of a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane, which may provide it with specific advantages in its ecological niche. The aerobic nature of this bacterium suggests that it requires oxygen for its metabolic processes, which can influence its habitat preferences and interactions within microbial communities. Given its optimal growth temperature and non-motile behavior, Celeribacter persicus may thrive in environments that maintain moderate temperatures and access to oxygen, such as soil or aquatic ecosystems. Its inability to form spores indicates that it may be less resilient to extreme environmental stresses compared to spore-forming bacteria. Overall, the traits of Celeribacter persicus strain DSM 100434 highlight its potential role in nutrient cycling in aerobic environments, where its metabolic capabilities may contribute to the breakdown of organic matter, supporting broader ecological functions.
