Enterococcus faecalis str. YM0831

Enterococcus faecalis str. YM0831 is a Gram-positive, nonsporulating cocci that exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism. This organism is classified as a chemoorganotroph, indicating it derives energy from organic compounds. The optimal growth temperature for E. faecalis str. YM0831 is 37.0°C, which is consistent with the typical mammalian host body temperature, suggesting a potential adaptation for survival in warm-blooded animals. The habitat of E. faecalis str. YM0831 is diverse, allowing it to thrive in various environments. This adaptability may contribute to its ecological resilience, facilitating its presence in multiple niches, including those associated with human and animal microbiomes. The combination of its Gram-positive structure and metabolic flexibility highlights the organism's potential role in nutrient cycling within its habitats. Understanding the traits of Enterococcus faecalis str. YM0831 offers insights into its ecological dynamics, particularly in environments where organic matter is abundant, as it can efficiently utilize available resources. This metabolic versatility may also influence interspecies interactions within microbial communities, which can be critical in both natural ecosystems and clinical settings.
