Pseudomonas balearica SP1402

Pseudomonas balearica SP1402 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium notable for its motility, which is facilitated by the presence of flagella. This organism possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that may contribute to its adaptability and survival in various environments. One of the key ecological interactions of Pseudomonas balearica SP1402 is its association with the green alga Ulva lactuca, commonly known as sea lettuce. This association suggests that Pseudomonas balearica may play a role in the microbiome of marine ecosystems, potentially influencing the health and growth of its algal host. The complete genomic sequence of Pseudomonas balearica SP1402 is available under accession CP007511.1, which provides a valuable resource for further research into its biological functions and ecological roles. Understanding these traits and interactions can shed light on the dynamics of microbial communities in marine environments, particularly those involving algal hosts like Ulva lactuca.
