Elizabethkingia anophelis strain F3543

Elizabethkingia anophelis strain F3543 is a Gram-negative, non-motile rod bacterium classified as a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds. This strain is aerobic, requiring oxygen for growth, and thrives in a mesophilic temperature range, which generally encompasses moderate environmental conditions. The strain possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure that may contribute to its adaptability in various habitats, as noted by its classification as having multiple habitats. Elizabethkingia anophelis, including strain F3543, is non-sporulating, which suggests that it does not form spores to survive unfavorable conditions, relying instead on its ability to thrive in its preferred environmental parameters. The presence of flagella indicates potential motility at the cellular level, although this strain is classified as non-motile, suggesting that flagella may not be functional or necessary for its lifestyle. One ecological insight into Elizabethkingia anophelis strain F3543 is its ability to inhabit diverse environments while being a chemoheterotroph. This adaptability can be crucial for its survival in varying ecological niches, allowing it to utilize different organic substrates for energy. Understanding the metabolic pathways and ecological roles of such strains could provide valuable information about microbial communities and their interactions within specific ecosystems. The accession number for this strain is MAHT00000000.1, which can be referenced for further genomic studies.
