Escherichia coli 2-005-03_S4_C3

Escherichia coli 2-005-03_S4_C3 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain is motile, possessing flagella that enable movement, and it typically exists in pairs or as single cells. The optimal growth temperature for E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C3 is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is common for many pathogenic and non-pathogenic E. coli strains. The bacterium is host-associated, suggesting a relationship with a specific host organism, and it is classified as free-living, which indicates that it can survive independently of host organisms under certain conditions. E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C3 has a single replicon and is characterized by having two membranes, consistent with the structure of Gram-negative bacteria. Understanding the ecological role of E. coli 2-005-03_S4_C3 is significant, as it exemplifies the diverse relationships that bacteria can maintain within their environments. Its ability to adapt to varying oxygen levels and temperatures enhances its survival in different ecological niches. These traits underscore the importance of E. coli in microbiological studies, particularly in understanding microbial dynamics and interactions in host-associated and free-living conditions. The strain is cataloged under accession number JJLJ00000000.1, which can be referenced for further genetic and phenotypic studies.
