Chryseobacterium flavum str. KCTC 12877

Chryseobacterium flavum strain KCTC 12877 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits aerobic metabolism and is non-spore-forming. This organism thrives optimally at a temperature of 32.0 °C, suggesting it is well-adapted to moderate environmental conditions. As a member of the Chryseobacterium genus, C. flavum is likely to possess unique enzymatic capabilities that may allow it to degrade complex organic materials, although specific metabolic pathways have not been detailed in the available data. The aerobic nature of this bacterium indicates its reliance on oxygen for growth, which may influence its ecological niche, potentially positioning it in environments such as soil or aquatic systems where oxygen is readily available. Given its traits, C. flavum str. KCTC 12877 may play a significant role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, particularly in the decomposition of organic matter. Its ability to thrive at moderate temperatures could also indicate a potential for adaptation to diverse habitats, making it a candidate for studies on microbial diversity in various ecological settings. Further research could elucidate its functional role in microbial communities and its interactions with other organisms in its environment.
