Vibrio cholerae str. VcCHNf9

Vibrio cholerae str. VcCHNf9 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists as single cells. This strain exhibits a heterotrophic mode of metabolism, utilizing organic compounds for energy. It is classified as a facultative anaerobe, indicating its ability to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. The optimal temperature for growth is around 20.0°C, suggesting a preference for cooler conditions that may reflect its ecological niche. Vibrio cholerae str. VcCHNf9 is found in diverse habitats, which can include marine and freshwater environments, as well as estuarine ecosystems. This adaptability to various habitats may play a crucial role in its survival and proliferation, especially in fluctuating environmental conditions. Given its physiological traits and habitat versatility, V. cholerae str. VcCHNf9 may contribute to the dynamic microbial communities in aquatic systems, where it could engage in complex interactions with other microorganisms. The presence of this strain in multiple environments highlights the ecological significance of Vibrio species in nutrient cycling and their potential role in shaping microbial diversity in aquatic ecosystems.
