Bakteerisia
Bakteerisia is a genus of bacteria described as gram-negative, rod-shaped organisms that, in many strains, are motile by a single polar flagellum. Cells typically measure about 0.7–1.4 μm in width and 1.5–3.5 μm in length. The genus is generally aerobic or facultatively anaerobic and exhibits versatile metabolism, capable of using a range of organic substrates, from simple sugars to organic acids.
Bakteerisia species have been isolated from soil, freshwater sediments, and plant rhizospheres across various regions. They
Genome sizes for described Bakteerisia strains typically fall in the 3.5–5.0 megabase pair range, with GC content
The type species is Bakteerisia terrae, with several additional species described as new isolates become available
Bakteerisia is studied for its potential contributions to soil carbon cycling and its biotechnological applications, including
