Alteromonas addita R10SW13

Alteromonas addita R10SW13 is a marine, Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and motility, facilitated by the presence of true flagella. This aerobic organism thrives in oxygen-rich environments, which is typical for many marine bacteria that engage in respiration to obtain energy. The genetic makeup of Alteromonas addita R10SW13 is represented by a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic architecture that can be advantageous for survival in its ecological niche. The specific accession number for this strain is CP014322.1, which provides a reference for further genetic and genomic studies. In the broader ecological context, members of the Alteromonas genus are known to play significant roles in marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient cycling and organic matter degradation. Their ability to thrive in marine environments suggests that Alteromonas addita R10SW13 may contribute to the overall health of marine habitats, potentially influencing the dynamics of microbial communities and biogeochemical cycles. Understanding the characteristics and behaviors of such bacteria can enhance our comprehension of marine microbial ecology and the intricate relationships within these environments.
