Ancylomarina subtilis strain DSM 28825

Ancylomarina subtilis strain DSM 28825 is characterized as a Gram-negative bacterium with a filamentous shape. This strain demonstrates facultative aerobic and anaerobic respiration capabilities, allowing it to thrive in varying oxygen environments. It is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C, indicating its preference for moderate temperature ranges. Notably, Ancylomarina subtilis is non-motile and does not form spores, suggesting a reliance on its filamentous structure for survival and adaptation in its ecological niche. The strain contains a single replicon, which is pertinent to its genetic organization and replication process. The ecological implications of Ancylomarina subtilis may relate to its adaptability in diverse environments, particularly in organic-rich habitats where fluctuating oxygen levels are common. Its filamentous morphology may facilitate interactions with other microorganisms and contribute to biofilm formation, potentially influencing nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics in its native habitat. The accession number for this strain is SHKN00000000.1, indicating its availability for further research and characterization.
