Enterobacter cancerogenus strain CR-Eb1

Enterobacter cancerogenus strain CR-Eb1 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella, which facilitates its motility. This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. Enterobacter cancerogenus is typically found in plant habitats, with a specific association to the host Ipomoea batatas, commonly known as sweet potato. The strain has a single replicon, which is an important feature for its genetic stability and replication processes. The accession number for this strain is NZ_CP025225.1, which provides a reference for its genomic data. The ecological insight into Enterobacter cancerogenus strain CR-Eb1 lies in its relationship with Ipomoea batatas. Its presence in this plant species suggests a potential role in the plant's microbiome, which can impact plant health, growth, and resilience. Understanding such interactions may offer avenues for enhancing agricultural practices, particularly in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, where microbial associations can influence crop yield and disease resistance.
