Escherichia coli MS 145-7

Escherichia coli MS 145-7 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in single or paired arrangements. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which coincides with the average body temperature of warm-blooded hosts, suggesting a close association with host organisms. As a facultative anaerobe, E. coli MS 145-7 is capable of surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, allowing it to adapt to a variety of conditions within its host habitat. The host-associated lifestyle of this microbe indicates its potential role in the microbiota of its hosts, contributing to various biological processes, including digestion and metabolism. The ability to thrive in the diverse oxygen levels within host tissues further underscores the adaptability of E. coli MS 145-7. Understanding the ecological and biological roles of this strain may provide insights into its interactions within the host microbiome, highlighting the complex relationships that exist between microorganisms and their hosts. Such insights can enhance our understanding of microbial ecology and the potential contributions of specific strains to host health and disease dynamics.
