Marinicella litoralis strain DSM 25488

Marinicella litoralis strain DSM 25488 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This strain is non-motile and is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C. Notably, it possesses a single replicon, indicating a relatively simple genomic structure. As an aerobic organism, Marinicella litoralis requires oxygen for its metabolic processes, which positions it within environments where oxygen availability is adequate. Its Gram-negative nature suggests that it has a distinctive cell wall structure, which includes a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane, features that often contribute to its environmental resilience. The strain is cataloged under the accession SNZB00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genomic information. Understanding the characteristics of Marinicella litoralis can offer insights into its ecological role. Given its aerobic nature and mesophilic growth preferences, this bacterium may thrive in coastal marine environments where organic matter is abundant, playing a role in the decomposition of organic materials and nutrient cycling. Its non-motile behavior suggests that it may rely on water currents or sediment movement for dispersal, which could influence its distribution in such habitats. Overall, Marinicella litoralis strain DSM 25488 exemplifies the adaptations of marine bacteria to specific ecological niches, highlighting the diversity of microbial life in coastal ecosystems.
