Escherichia coli 2-005-03_S4_C2

Escherichia coli 2-005-03_S4_C2 is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic lifestyle, allowing it to thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. This strain is characterized by its mobility, which is facilitated by the presence of flagella. E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C2 typically resides in host-associated environments, indicating a potential symbiotic or commensal relationship within its habitat. The bacterium's optimal growth temperature is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to its survival in warm-blooded hosts. E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C2 possesses a single replicon and is encapsulated by two membranes, a hallmark of gram-negative bacteria. In terms of its ecological role, E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C2 is classified as free-living, suggesting it can exist independently of a host while still being associated with host environments. This dual capability highlights the versatility of E. coli species in various ecological niches. Overall, the adaptability of E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C2 to different oxygen levels and its ability to thrive at body temperature underscore its significance in both environmental and host-associated contexts, reflecting the broader ecological role of E. coli within microbial communities. The accession number for this strain is JJLN00000000.1, which can be referenced for further genomic insights.
