Flavobacterium ovatum W201E

Flavobacterium ovatum W201E is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium that possesses flagella, enabling motility. This trait suggests an adaptive advantage in its ecological niche, allowing for movement toward favorable environments or resources. The organism has a single replicon, indicating that it contains one circular chromosome, which is typical for many bacteria and facilitates efficient replication and genetic stability. The genomic sequence of Flavobacterium ovatum W201E is represented by the accession number CP160035.1, which provides a reference for further studies on its genetic makeup and functional capabilities. The presence of a single replicon may also suggest streamlined regulatory mechanisms for gene expression and replication. Ecologically, Flavobacterium species, including W201E, are often associated with aquatic environments and play significant roles in the degradation of organic matter. Their ability to thrive in such habitats contributes to nutrient cycling and the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. The flagellar motility of W201E may enhance its capacity to colonize diverse substrates, promoting its role in biogeochemical processes.
