Echinicola strongylocentroti strain MEBiC08714

Echinicola strongylocentroti strain MEBiC08714 is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This strain is classified as a heterotroph, indicating that it obtains its energy from organic compounds. It thrives optimally at a temperature of 25°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range, which is typically between 20°C and 45°C. The strain possesses a single replicon, which is a defining feature of its genetic structure. The genomic data for Echinicola strongylocentroti strain MEBiC08714 can be accessed under the accession number NZ_CP030041.1. The ecological significance of Echinicola strongylocentroti strain MEBiC08714 can be inferred from its heterotrophic lifestyle and aerobic metabolism. As a heterotroph, this bacterium likely plays a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter within its environment, thus contributing to nutrient cycling. Its ability to thrive in a mesophilic temperature range suggests that it may be well-adapted to temperate ecosystems, where it could interact with various organic substrates and other microbial communities. This interaction highlights the importance of Echinicola strongylocentroti in maintaining the balance of microbial ecosystems and facilitating the breakdown of complex organic materials.
