Hymenobacter daecheongensis DSM 21074

Hymenobacter daecheongensis DSM 21074 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that demonstrates aerobic metabolism and is non-spore-forming. This microorganism has an optimal growth temperature of 16.0°C, indicating a preference for cooler environments, which may suggest its adaptation to specific ecological niches that are characterized by lower thermal conditions. Hymenobacter species are generally known for their ability to inhabit a variety of environments, often in association with moist surfaces, which could facilitate interactions with other microbial communities. The aerobic nature of H. daecheongensis implies a reliance on oxygen for its metabolic processes, positioning it within ecosystems where oxygen is readily available. Given its temperature preference and aerobic characteristics, H. daecheongensis may play a role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in cold, oxygen-rich habitats, such as freshwater systems or high-altitude environments. Its ecological significance may extend to contributing to the microbial diversity and functionality within such habitats, potentially influencing the overall microbial community dynamics.
