Alteromonas aestuariivivens strain KCTC 52655

Alteromonas aestuariivivens strain KCTC 52655 is a Gram-negative, ovoid-shaped bacterium that exhibits a strict aerobic metabolism and does not form spores. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 29.0 °C, indicating a preference for moderately warm environments. As a member of the Alteromonadaceae family, A. aestuariivivens is likely adapted to dynamic aquatic habitats, such as estuaries, where fluctuating salinity and temperature conditions are common. The non-spore-forming nature of this strain suggests a reliance on its aerobic metabolism for survival, potentially utilizing organic compounds available in its environment for energy production. While specific ecological roles of A. aestuariivivens strain KCTC 52655 remain to be fully elucidated, its characteristics suggest that it may play a role in nutrient cycling within estuarine ecosystems. The optimal growth temperature aligns with the thermal conditions typically found in such habitats, indicating that this microbe might contribute to the microbial diversity and metabolic processes that are crucial for maintaining the health of these environments. Further studies could provide insights into its potential applications in biotechnology or bioremediation, particularly in areas affected by organic pollutants.
