Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 6055

Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 6055 is a Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its cocci shape and status as a facultative anaerobe. This organism is classified as a chemoorganotroph, indicating that it derives energy from organic compounds. E. faecalis ATCC 6055 typically thrives at an optimal temperature of 37°C, within a mesophilic temperature range. This strain is non-motile and lacks flagella, which suggests that it does not have the means for active movement, relying instead on passive dispersion in its environment. Enterococcus faecalis is known to inhabit multiple ecological niches, demonstrating its versatility and adaptability to various habitats. It is recognized for its free-living biotic relationship, allowing it to exist independently in diverse environments. E. faecalis ATCC 6055 possesses a single replicon and a single membrane, which is characteristic of its cellular structure. The strain is cataloged under the accession number ASDZ00000000.1, which aids in its identification and classification in microbial databases. The ecological insight regarding Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 6055 lies in its role within various environments. Its ability to thrive in multiple habitats and utilize organic substrates for energy suggests a significant role in nutrient cycling and interactions within microbial communities. As a free-living organism, it may contribute to the balance of microbial populations and the decomposition of organic matter in its ecosystems.
