Escherichia coli 1-392-07_S4_C3

Escherichia coli 1-392-07_S4_C3 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in pairs or singles and is classified as a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This bacterium is motile, possessing flagella that enable movement, which is crucial for its interaction with the host and its environment. The optimal growth temperature for E. coli 1-392-07_S4_C3 is 37 degrees Celsius, indicating that it is mesophilic and well-adapted to the conditions of the human body and other warm-blooded hosts. This strain has a single replicon and is characterized by having two membranes, a trait common among Gram-negative bacteria. E. coli 1-392-07_S4_C3 is free-living but associated with a host habitat, suggesting that while it can exist independently, it may also engage in symbiotic or pathogenic relationships with host organisms. This adaptability underscores the ecological versatility of E. coli strains, which can be beneficial in digestive processes or detrimental as pathogens under certain conditions. In summary, the traits of Escherichia coli 1-392-07_S4_C3 highlight its significant role in various ecosystems, particularly in the gut microbiota of hosts, where it can contribute to nutrient cycling and overall health, while also posing risks as an opportunistic pathogen depending on the environmental context.
