Enterococcus faecalis ERV129

Enterococcus faecalis ERV129 is a Gram-positive, non-motile cocci bacterium known for its role as a chemoorganotroph, utilizing organic compounds as its energy source. This microorganism is classified as a facultative anaerobe, indicating its capability to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. Its optimal growth temperature is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to its proliferation in warm-blooded hosts and various environments. The organism possesses a single membrane and exhibits a simple genomic structure with one replicon. Its habitat is diverse, allowing E. faecalis ERV129 to exist in multiple ecological niches. This free-living bacterium does not possess flagella, which aligns with its non-motile nature. The presence of Enterococcus faecalis in various habitats and its ability to survive under different oxygen conditions highlight its ecological versatility. Its role as a chemoorganotroph allows it to occupy ecological niches where organic matter is available, contributing to nutrient cycling within those environments. This adaptability may have implications for its interactions with other microorganisms and its potential impact on human health, particularly in clinical settings where it is known to be an opportunistic pathogen. The genetic data for this strain can be referenced under accessions ALZL00000000.1.
