Escherichia coli LAU-EC10

Escherichia coli LAU-EC10 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that demonstrates mobility through the presence of flagella. It is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in various oxygen conditions. LAU-EC10 is typically found in host-associated habitats, which indicates its relationship with living organisms. It possesses a single replicon and features a double membrane structure, characteristic of its classification within the Enterobacteriaceae family. The optimal growth temperature for E. coli LAU-EC10 is 37°C, which falls within the mesophilic temperature range, highlighting its adaptation to moderate environmental conditions often encountered in warm-blooded hosts. This adaptability to temperature and oxygen availability facilitates its survival in diverse ecological niches. E. coli LAU-EC10 is noted for its free-living biotic relationship, which suggests it can exist independently of a host, potentially contributing to its resilience and versatility in various environments. The accession number AYNJ00000000.1 provides a reference for further genomic studies and characterization of this strain. In summary, E. coli LAU-EC10 showcases a blend of characteristics that enable it to thrive in host-associated environments while also maintaining the capability for independent existence. This adaptability may play a significant role in its ecological interactions and evolutionary success within microbial communities.
