Elizabethkingia anophelis NUHP1

Elizabethkingia anophelis NUHP1 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium characterized by its rod shape and aerobic metabolism. This organism is classified as a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds. Notably, it does not form spores, which is a characteristic trait of its survival strategy. The bacterium has a mesophilic temperature range, indicating that it thrives in moderate temperature conditions. This adaptation suggests that E. anophelis NUHP1 may be well-suited to a variety of environments, as mesophilic organisms can typically inhabit diverse ecological niches. Genetically, Elizabethkingia anophelis NUHP1 contains one replicon, which provides insights into its genomic organization. The organism is cataloged under the accession number NZ_CP007547.1, facilitating further research and exploration into its genetic attributes. Ecologically, the presence of E. anophelis in multiple habitats underscores its potential versatility and adaptability. This adaptability could allow it to play various roles in microbial communities, contributing to nutrient cycling and possibly influencing the dynamics of other microorganisms within its environment. Understanding the ecological interactions of E. anophelis may provide valuable insights into its potential applications in biotechnology or its role in human health, especially given the increasing interest in the genus Elizabethkingia due to its clinical significance.
