Cocleimonas flava strain DSM 24830

Cocleimonas flava strain DSM 24830 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It is characterized by its mesophilic nature, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C, indicating that it thrives in moderate temperature conditions. This strain exhibits non-motile behavior, suggesting that it does not possess flagella or other structures for active movement. Cocleimonas flava is notable for having a single replicon, which is a defining feature of its genetic organization. The strain is cataloged under the sequence accession number SMFQ00000000.1, which provides a reference point for genetic studies and further characterization. Biologically, the aerobic nature of Cocleimonas flava suggests that it plays a role in environments where oxygen is available, potentially participating in processes such as organic matter decomposition or nutrient cycling in its ecological niche. The mesophilic temperature range aligns with conditions commonly found in terrestrial environments, which may influence its interactions with other microorganisms and its overall ecological impact.
