Uruburuella suis strain DSM 17474

Uruburuella suis strain DSM 17474 is characterized as a Gram-negative bacterium with a rod-shaped morphology. This strain exhibits an aerobic metabolism, indicating that it requires oxygen for growth and energy production. Notably, Uruburuella suis is non-motile, which suggests that it does not possess the structures necessary for active movement, such as flagella. The genetic composition of Uruburuella suis strain DSM 17474 includes a single replicon, which is typical for many bacterial species and impacts its genomic organization and replication. Additionally, this strain is non-spore-forming, meaning it does not produce spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions, which can influence its ecological resilience and adaptability. The accession number for the genomic data of Uruburuella suis is SLXE00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic studies and characterization. Biologically, the aerobic nature of Uruburuella suis suggests it may play a role in environments where oxygen is available, potentially contributing to microbial communities in soil or water systems where aerobic processes are essential. Its non-motility might limit its dispersal capabilities; however, it could still thrive in stable, nutrient-rich microenvironments where oxygen is present, allowing it to participate in ecological interactions within its habitat.
