Escherichia coli 2-210-07_S3_C3

Escherichia coli strain 2-210-07_S3_C3 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain is characterized by its mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella, and it typically appears in pairs or singles. E. coli 2-210-07_S3_C3 is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which aligns with the typical body temperature of warm-blooded hosts. Its habitat is primarily host-associated, indicating a potential relationship with a living organism, although it is also described as free-living. This suggests that while it can inhabit specific hosts, it is capable of surviving independently in appropriate environments. With a single replicon and a double membrane structure, this strain fits within the general characteristics of E. coli. The ability to exist in a host-associated environment while also being free-living suggests ecological versatility, allowing it to adapt to varying conditions and potentially engage in diverse interactions within microbial communities. These traits highlight the adaptability of E. coli strains like 2-210-07_S3_C3, emphasizing their significant role in both health and disease within their ecological niches. The accessions provided for this strain are recorded as JNQA00000000.1, which can be referenced for further genomic and phenotypic studies.
