Oleibacter marinus strain DSM 24913

Oleibacter marinus strain DSM 24913 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits an aerobic lifestyle and thrives at an optimal temperature of 29.0°C. As a representative of the Oleibacter genus, this strain is characterized by its adaptation to marine environments, which is suggestive of its potential role in coastal microbial communities. The Gram-negative cell wall structure of O. marinus is indicative of a complex outer membrane that may contribute to its interactions within marine ecosystems, including nutrient uptake and protection against environmental stressors. Cultivation of Oleibacter marinus strain DSM 24913 under controlled laboratory conditions demonstrates its preference for aerobic conditions, which aligns with its potential involvement in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in oxygen-rich marine habitats. The specific temperature optima suggest that this organism is well-suited to moderate thermal environments, typical of subtropical or temperate marine waters. Furthermore, the physiological traits of O. marinus strain DSM 24913 highlight its possible role in the degradation of organic compounds prevalent in marine settings, thus contributing to nutrient cycling and the maintenance of ecological balance within its habitat. Understanding the metabolic capabilities and ecological functions of such marine bacteria can provide valuable insights into the dynamics of microbial communities and their responses to environmental changes in oceanic systems.
