Raoultella ornithinolytica str. 1810

Raoultella ornithinolytica str. 1810 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism and thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C. As a chemoheterotroph, this microbe utilizes organic compounds as its energy source, indicating its reliance on a variety of carbon sources for growth. The ability to function in multiple habitats suggests a degree of ecological versatility, allowing R. ornithinolytica str. 1810 to adapt to diverse environmental conditions. The facultative anaerobic nature of this organism enables it to survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, which may provide a competitive advantage in fluctuating ecological niches. This adaptability is particularly significant given the varied habitats in which it can be found, potentially including soil, water, and associated with various hosts. Understanding the metabolic capabilities and environmental preferences of R. ornithinolytica str. 1810 enhances our comprehension of its role within microbial communities and its interactions with other organisms in its ecosystem. Further research could elucidate its specific ecological roles and contributions to nutrient cycling in the environments it inhabits.
