Tepidicella xavieri strain DSM 19605

Tepidicella xavieri strain DSM 19605 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape. This strain thrives at an optimal temperature of 45°C and falls within the thermophilic temperature range, indicating its ability to grow in high-temperature environments. Notably, Tepidicella xavieri is non-spore-forming and possesses a single replicon, which is essential for its genetic stability and replication. The thermophilic nature of Tepidicella xavieri suggests its potential ecological role in high-temperature habitats, such as hot springs or geothermal environments. Organisms like Tepidicella xavieri are often involved in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the degradation of organic materials under elevated temperatures. Their metabolic activities can significantly influence nutrient cycling and energy flow in these extreme ecosystems. In summary, Tepidicella xavieri strain DSM 19605 is a Gram-negative, aerobic rod-shaped bacterium that thrives at elevated temperatures, highlighting its adaptability to thermophilic conditions and its potential significance in high-temperature ecological niches.
