Aeromonas hydrophila strain BSK-10

Aeromonas hydrophila strain BSK-10 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a versatile cell arrangement, forming chains, pairs, or existing as single cells. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 22.0°C and is classified as a facultative aerobe, allowing it to adapt to varying oxygen levels in its environment. As a heterotrophic organism, A. hydrophila strain BSK-10 relies on organic compounds as its primary energy source, which suggests its potential role in nutrient cycling within diverse habitats. The ability of this strain to exist in multiple habitats indicates its ecological plasticity, allowing it to colonize various environments ranging from freshwater systems to other aquatic niches. This adaptability may facilitate its interactions with other microbial communities and contribute to its overall ecological significance. Understanding the specific ecological roles and metabolic capabilities of A. hydrophila strain BSK-10 could provide insights into its function within its native microbiomes and its potential contributions to biogeochemical processes in aquatic ecosystems.
