Escherichia coli strain 2009C-3133

Escherichia coli strain 2009C-3133 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in pairs or as single cells. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which corresponds to the physiological temperature of many host organisms, indicating its adaptation to a host-associated habitat. As a facultative anaerobe, E. coli strain 2009C-3133 can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen, allowing it to inhabit various environments within a host where oxygen levels may fluctuate. The ability of this strain to survive and proliferate in diverse conditions highlights its ecological versatility and potential interactions within the host's microbiome. These traits suggest that E. coli strain 2009C-3133 may play a role in the complex relationships between gut microbiota and host health, further underscoring the significance of understanding such strains in the broader context of microbial ecology and host-associated microbial communities.
