Enterococcus faecalis 02-MB-BW-10

Enterococcus faecalis 02-MB-BW-10 is a Gram-positive, cocci-shaped bacterium characterized as a chemoorganotroph, utilizing organic compounds for energy. It is classified as a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen, which allows it to thrive in varied environments. This organism is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, making it well-suited for warm environments. The strain is non-motile, lacking flagella, and possesses a single membrane and one replicon. It is free-living, suggesting it can exist independently in its habitat, which is noted to be multiple. The ability to live in diverse environments may contribute to its ecological versatility, allowing it to colonize a range of niches. The accession number for this strain is ATIH00000000.1, aiding in its identification and cataloging in microbial databases. The ecological insight from this data indicates that E. faecalis 02-MB-BW-10 may play a role in various ecosystems, possibly influencing nutrient cycling and microbial community dynamics due to its metabolic capabilities and free-living lifestyle.
