Escherichia coli O111:H8 str. CVM9634

Escherichia coli O111:H8 str. CVM9634 is a Gram-negative bacterium that is classified within the Enterobacteriaceae family. This strain exhibits a rod shape and is capable of mobility, attributed to the presence of flagella. E. coli O111:H8 str. CVM9634 is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, adapting to varying oxygen levels. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is typical for many pathogenic and non-pathogenic E. coli strains. It has a simple genomic structure with only one replicon, and it possesses two membranes, which is characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. E. coli O111:H8 str. CVM9634 is found in host-associated habitats, indicating a strong relationship with host organisms. It exists in pairs and singles, reflecting its cellular arrangement. This strain is considered free-living, suggesting it can survive independently in its environment. The ecological role of E. coli O111:H8 str. CVM9634 may involve interactions with host organisms, potentially influencing gut microbiota composition and health. This bacterium’s ability to thrive in diverse conditions and its established presence in host-associated habitats underline its significance in microbiological studies and its potential impact on host health. The accession number for this strain is AKAW00000000.1, which serves as a reference for further genomic and ecological investigations.
