Vibrio cholerae strain TSY216

Vibrio cholerae strain TSY216 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its arrangement in single cells. This strain exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to thrive in varying oxygen conditions. As a heterotroph, Vibrio cholerae strain TSY216 obtains its energy by metabolizing organic compounds, which contributes to its adaptability in diverse habitats. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is approximately 20.0 degrees Celsius, suggesting a preference for cooler environments. This temperature range may indicate its ecological niche, possibly aligning with habitats such as coastal waters or estuarine systems where nutrient availability is influenced by temperature and organic matter influx. The ability of Vibrio cholerae strain TSY216 to occupy multiple habitats highlights its ecological versatility, potentially allowing it to interact with various microbial communities and contribute to biogeochemical cycles. Understanding the specific environmental adaptations of this strain can provide insights into its role in microbial dynamics and its potential responses to changing environmental conditions.
