Bacillus cereus VD131

Bacillus cereus VD131 is a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a chain-like cell arrangement. This organism is classified as an aerobe, indicating that it requires oxygen for growth. It possesses flagella, which contributes to its mobility. Bacillus cereus VD131 is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C, and it can thrive within a specific temperature range that aligns with mesophilic conditions. This bacterium is free-living, suggesting that it does not rely on a host organism for survival and can exist independently in various environments. The presence of a single membrane and one replicon is characteristic of its cellular structure, contributing to its metabolic functions. The ecological significance of Bacillus cereus VD131 lies in its adaptability to multiple habitats. Its ability to thrive in diverse environments enhances its role in nutrient cycling and its potential interactions within different ecosystems. As a free-living organism, it may also play a role in soil health and microbial community dynamics, influencing both productivity and ecological balance. The accession number for this strain is AHFA00000000.1, which can be referenced for further genomic details.
