Enterococcus faecium OC2A-1

Enterococcus faecium OC2A-1 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its cocci shape and facultative anaerobic metabolism. This organism possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic structure. Notably, Enterococcus faecium OC2A-1 has a true flagella presence, which is relatively uncommon among Enterococcus species, contributing to its motility. The accession number for Enterococcus faecium OC2A-1 is ATIW00000000.1, which allows for its identification and retrieval in genomic databases. The combination of its Gram-positive nature and the presence of flagella suggests that E. faecium OC2A-1 may have unique ecological adaptations that differentiate it from other Enterococcus species, which typically lack flagella. From a biological perspective, the facultative anaerobic capability of Enterococcus faecium OC2A-1 enables it to thrive in varied oxygen environments, making it versatile in different ecological niches. This adaptability may play a significant role in its survival and interaction with other microorganisms within its habitat. Understanding these traits can provide insight into the ecological dynamics where E. faecium OC2A-1 exists, including its potential role in microbial communities and its capacity to adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions.
