Edaphobacter modestus strain DSM 18101

Edaphobacter modestus strain DSM 18101 is a mesophilic bacterium with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C. This temperature range indicates that it thrives in moderate thermal conditions, which is typical for many soil-dwelling microorganisms. The strain possesses a single replicon, suggesting a streamlined genetic structure which may contribute to its adaptability in various environments. The strain is cataloged under accession number SHKW00000000.1, providing a reference for researchers interested in its genetic and functional characteristics. While specific metabolic pathways or ecological roles are not detailed, the classification of Edaphobacter species often correlates with soil environments where they may play a role in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. The mesophilic nature of Edaphobacter modestus suggests that it may be well-suited for interactions within temperate soils, contributing to the microbial community dynamics. Its optimal growth at 29°C aligns with typical soil temperatures in many regions, which may facilitate its role in soil health and function. Understanding the traits of Edaphobacter modestus can enhance our knowledge of microbial ecology in soil environments, particularly in relation to nutrient turnover and organic matter degradation.
