Hymenobacter gummosus strain KCTC 52166

Hymenobacter gummosus strain KCTC 52166 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. This strain is notable for having a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic organization. The complete genomic data for this strain is accessible under the accession number RXOF00000000.1. As a member of the Hymenobacter genus, H. gummosus is likely to exhibit characteristics typical of soil bacteria, such as the ability to degrade complex organic materials. The Gram-negative nature of this bacterium suggests it possesses an outer membrane that may contribute to its adaptability in various environments, including nutrient-poor habitats. The presence of a single replicon may provide insights into its evolutionary strategies and metabolic capabilities. This trait could indicate a streamlined genomic architecture, potentially allowing for efficient replication and maintenance of essential functions under specific ecological conditions. As such, Hymenobacter gummosus strain KCTC 52166 may play a role in soil health and nutrient cycling, reflecting its ecological significance in maintaining microbial diversity and contributing to the degradation of organic compounds in its environment.
