Flavobacterium litorale WSW3-B6

Flavobacterium litorale WSW3-B6 is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium that possesses flagella, enabling motility. This trait is significant as it may influence its ecological interactions and ability to adapt to various environments. The organism is noted for having a single replicon, which is a defining feature of its genetic structure. The genome of Flavobacterium litorale WSW3-B6 is represented in the GenBank database under the accession number CP080429.1, providing a resource for researchers interested in its genetic makeup and potential applications. In terms of ecological insight, the motility afforded by its flagella likely enhances the bacterium's ability to navigate through its aquatic habitat, contributing to its survival and interactions within microbial communities. The rod shape may also play a role in nutrient absorption and biofilm formation, which are important for its ecological niche. Understanding these traits is essential for further research into the ecological roles and biotechnological potential of Flavobacterium litorale WSW3-B6.
