Chryseobacterium treverense strain DSM 22251

Chryseobacterium treverense strain DSM 22251 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits aerobic metabolism and is non-spore-forming. This microbe demonstrates optimal growth at a temperature of 16.0 °C, indicating a preference for cooler environments, which may be reflective of its ecological niche. As a member of the genus Chryseobacterium, this strain is characterized by its ability to thrive in various environments, particularly in aquatic and soil habitats. While the specific ecological roles and interactions of C. treverense strain DSM 22251 remain to be fully elucidated, its growth at low temperatures suggests potential adaptations for survival in temperate or cold ecosystems. The non-spore-forming nature of this bacterium may limit its resilience to extreme environmental stresses compared to spore-forming counterparts; however, its aerobic requirements indicate a reliance on oxygen-rich environments for metabolic processes. This trait may position C. treverense as a key player in nutrient cycling within its habitat, contributing to the degradation of organic materials under aerobic conditions. Overall, Chryseobacterium treverense strain DSM 22251 exemplifies the diversity of microbial life capable of thriving in specialized niches, highlighting the importance of temperature and oxygen availability in shaping microbial communities.
