Dermacoccus abyssi strain MT1.1

Dermacoccus abyssi strain MT1.1 is a Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. This strain exhibits aerobic to microaerophilic metabolic requirements, indicating that it thrives in environments with varying levels of oxygen availability. The optimal growth temperature for this organism is 29°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to growth in moderate thermal conditions. One notable trait of Dermacoccus abyssi strain MT1.1 is its ability to form spores, which may contribute to its resilience in challenging environmental conditions. The strain possesses a single replicon, reflecting its genomic organization, and is cataloged under the accession number QWLM00000000.1. From a biological or ecological perspective, the traits of Dermacoccus abyssi strain MT1.1 suggest its potential role in diverse habitats, particularly those that may experience fluctuations in temperature and oxygen levels. Its spore-forming capability could enable it to survive in unfavorable conditions, allowing it to persist in environments that may be inhospitable for other microorganisms. This adaptability may be significant in ecological contexts where microbial communities are influenced by changing environmental factors.
