Scientific Relevance

Sphingopyxis flavimaris is an example of the biotechnological potential of marine bacteria. Its ability to grow in saline environments and its specific lipid composition may be of interest for studies on microbial adaptation to extreme conditions, as well as for applications in bioremediation or the production of bioactive compounds.
