Andreprevotia lacus DSM 23236

Andreprevotia lacus DSM 23236 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that demonstrates aerobic metabolic capabilities and thrives optimally at a temperature of 29.0°C. As a non-spore-forming organism, it relies on vegetative means for survival and reproduction. The Gram-negative cell wall structure of A. lacus suggests a complex outer membrane that could contribute to its environmental resilience and adaptability. Given its aerobic nature, A. lacus likely requires oxygen for growth, which may influence its ecological niche, potentially residing in oxygen-rich environments such as freshwater lakes or similar aquatic habitats. The optimal growth temperature of 29.0°C indicates a preference for mesophilic conditions, which may be reflective of its native ecological settings or industrial applications in biotechnological processes, where temperature control is vital. This organism's specific traits suggest a role in nutrient cycling within its environment, particularly in the degradation of organic materials, which is essential for maintaining ecosystem health. Such functionalities underline the importance of A. lacus in understanding microbial diversity and the ecological roles that Gram-negative bacteria play in freshwater ecosystems.
