Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense strain JA181

Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense strain JA181 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This strain demonstrates facultative aerobe/anaerobe oxygen requirements, allowing it to thrive in varying oxygen conditions. Its optimal growth temperature is 29°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is typically between 20°C and 45°C. Notably, strain JA181 is non-motile, which may influence its ecological interactions and habitat preferences. The strain possesses a single replicon, which is significant for understanding its genomic structure and replication processes. The accession number for this strain is SOEB00000000.1, providing a reference point for researchers interested in its genetic and functional analysis. The adaptability of Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense strain JA181 to different oxygen levels and its mesophilic nature suggest it may play a role in various ecological environments, particularly where organic matter decomposition occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen. These traits could be crucial for its application in biotechnological processes, such as bioremediation or bioenergy production, where both aerobic and anaerobic conditions are prevalent. Understanding these characteristics further contributes to the broader knowledge of microbial diversity and functionality in different ecological niches.
