| Description | Flavobacterium limnosediminis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorized as a chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites of species, including skin, gut, and respiratory tract, and is an obligate aerobe. As a gram-negative microbe, Flavobacterium limnosediminis has a unique cell wall structure, consisting of a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides. Its rod shape allows for efficient movement and colonization in aquatic environments. The mesophilic temperature preference of Flavobacterium limnosediminis enables it to grow and reproduce in a wide range of temperatures, from 10°C to 30°C, making it a versatile microbe. As a chemoheterotroph, Flavobacterium limnosediminis relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon sources, breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones. This metabolic process allows the microbe to thrive in environments with abundant organic matter. The presence of Flavobacterium limnosediminis in various body sites of species suggests its ability to adapt and survive in different ecological niches. As an obligate aerobe, Flavobacterium limnosediminis requires oxygen to grow and reproduce, making it well-suited for environments with high oxygen levels, such as surface waters and sediments. Flavobacterium limnosediminis has been isolated from freshwater sediments and has been found to play a significant role in the degradation of organic pollutants, contributing to the maintenance of ecosystem balance. Its ability to produce extracellular enzymes allows it to break down complex organic matter, making it a key player in the carbon cycle. |
