Citrobacter werkmanii strain ICR003007

Citrobacter werkmanii strain ICR003007 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a chemoheterotroph, indicating its reliance on organic compounds for energy and carbon. This strain possesses flagella, which contributes to its mobility, allowing it to navigate its environment effectively. It falls within the mesophilic temperature range, suggesting optimal growth at moderate temperatures typically found in many natural and human-associated habitats. The strain has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that may facilitate efficient replication and adaptation. Notably, Citrobacter werkmanii ICR003007 is nonsporulating, meaning it does not form spores, which may limit its survival in extreme conditions compared to spore-forming bacteria. Understanding the ecological role of Citrobacter werkmanii ICR003007 can provide insights into its contribution to nutrient cycling, particularly in environments rich in organic matter. Its ability to metabolize various organic substrates positions it as a potential player in the degradation of pollutants or organic waste, further underscoring its ecological significance. The complete genomic data available under the accession SEJH00000000.1 could aid in future research aimed at exploring its metabolic pathways and interactions within microbial communities.
