Gordonia malaquae NBRC 108250

Gordonia malaquae NBRC 108250 is a Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which facilitates its motility. This organism is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 29°C, indicating its preference for moderate temperature environments. Gordonia malaquae possesses a single replicon, which is a feature that can influence its genetic stability and replication behavior. The accession number for this strain is BAOP00000000.1, which is relevant for researchers looking to access genomic information or conduct further studies on this organism. The ecological role of Gordonia malaquae may be significant in its native habitat, particularly in environments where organic compounds are prevalent. Given its aerobic nature, it likely participates in the biodegradation of complex organic materials, contributing to nutrient cycling within its ecosystem. This trait underscores the potential utility of Gordonia malaquae in bioremediation efforts, particularly in the degradation of pollutants in aerobic conditions. Understanding such traits can help in exploring its applications in environmental microbiology and biotechnology.
