Epilithonimonas xixisoli strain CGMCC 1.12802

Epilithonimonas xixisoli strain CGMCC 1.12802 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. This strain is characterized by having a single replicon, which indicates a streamlined genetic organization typical of certain bacterial species. The genomic data for this strain is accessible under the accession number SOEO00000000.1. The classification of Epilithonimonas xixisoli within the broader microbial community suggests its potential ecological roles, particularly in aquatic environments, as the genus Epilithonimonas is associated with biofilm formation on rock surfaces in freshwater habitats. The Gram-negative nature of this bacterium may also imply its involvement in various biochemical processes, including nutrient cycling, due to the characteristics associated with Gram-negative bacteria, such as a complex outer membrane that can influence interactions with other microorganisms and environmental factors. In summary, the defining traits of Epilithonimonas xixisoli strain CGMCC 1.12802 highlight its potential significance in freshwater ecosystems, where it could contribute to the stability and function of microbial communities through its unique adaptations and metabolic capabilities.
