Enterococcus faecium EnGen0191 str. HM1073

Enterococcus faecium EnGen0191 str. HM1073 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized as a facultative anaerobe, which means it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen. Its cellular morphology is described as cocci, indicating a spherical shape. This strain possesses flagella, suggesting that it has the capability for motility. Enterococcus faecium is known to have a single replicon, which is a circular piece of DNA that serves as the genetic material for the organism. The specific accession number for this strain is AITZ00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genomic data in biological databases. The presence of flagella in Enterococcus faecium HM1073 may confer advantages in its ecological niche, allowing for movement toward favorable environments or away from adverse conditions. This motility capability, in conjunction with its facultative anaerobic lifestyle, enables the bacterium to thrive in diverse habitats, including those with varying oxygen levels. E. faecium is commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other mammals, playing a role in the microbiome. Its adaptability and potential for motility may influence its interactions within these microbial communities, potentially affecting host health and contributing to the dynamics of gut microbiota.
