Chryseobacterium defluvii strain DSM 14219

Chryseobacterium defluvii strain DSM 14219 is an aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its single replicon. This strain falls under the genus Chryseobacterium, which is known for its diverse metabolic capabilities and ecological significance. The aerobic nature of C. defluvii indicates it requires oxygen for growth, which aligns with the environmental niches it may inhabit. The strain is cataloged under the accession number RBXB00000000.1, which provides a reference point for its genomic information. The single replicon suggests a relatively simple genetic organization, which may have implications for its adaptability and metabolic processes. Chryseobacterium species, including C. defluvii, are often associated with various environments, including soil and water, and can play a role in the decomposition of organic matter. Their aerobic metabolism can contribute to nutrient cycling in these ecosystems. Understanding the traits of C. defluvii, particularly its oxygen requirement and morphological characteristics, can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential applications in bioremediation or as a model organism for studying microbial ecology.
