Oenococcus oeni strain CRBO_1395

Oenococcus oeni strain CRBO_1395 is a Gram-positive, coccoid bacterium classified as a facultative anaerobe. This strain thrives in multiple habitats and exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 17°C. Notably, O. oeni CRBO_1395 is non-motile and does not possess flagella, indicating that it relies on passive movement through its environment rather than active propulsion. This strain has a single replicon and a single membrane, which is typical for many bacteria. As a free-living organism, O. oeni CRBO_1395 does not engage in symbiotic relationships but occupies various ecological niches. Its nonsporulating nature suggests that it does not form spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions, which may influence its ecological role and adaptability. The presence of Oenococcus oeni in diverse habitats underscores its ecological versatility, particularly in environments where lactic acid bacteria are essential for the fermentation processes, such as in winemaking and dairy production. Given its role in these processes, this strain may contribute significantly to the flavor and quality of fermented products, highlighting the importance of understanding specific strains like CRBO_1395 in industrial microbiology and fermentation science. The accession number for this strain is ULFV00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic and taxonomic studies.
