Flavobacterium lindanitolerans strain DSM 21886

Flavobacterium lindanitolerans strain DSM 21886 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology and motility, attributed to the presence of true flagella. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C and falls within the mesophilic range, indicating its preference for moderate temperature conditions. The strain is non-spore-forming and possesses a single replicon, which is notable for its genomic organization. The accession number for Flavobacterium lindanitolerans strain DSM 21886 is RCCB00000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic studies or comparative analysis with other bacterial strains. Understanding the traits of Flavobacterium lindanitolerans can offer insights into its ecological role, particularly in environments where aerobic, mesophilic conditions prevail. The bacterium's motility may facilitate its interaction with various substrates, potentially influencing nutrient cycling in its habitat. As a representative of the Flavobacterium genus, it may also contribute to the degradation of organic materials, thus playing a significant role in microbial communities involved in the decomposition processes in aquatic or soil environments.
