Escherichia coli O121:H19 strain FWSEC0006

Escherichia coli O121:H19 strain FWSEC0006 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and facultative anaerobic metabolism. This strain is capable of mobility due to the presence of flagella, and it typically exists in pairs or as singles. As a mesophilic organism, its optimal growth temperature is around 37°C, aligning with the typical body temperature of warm-blooded hosts. The strain has a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, which is characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. E. coli O121:H19 FWSEC0006 is noted for its free-living biotic relationship, indicating its ability to thrive in various environments, particularly those associated with hosts. The strain is cataloged under accession NZ_CP031910.1, providing a reference for further research and identification. The traits of this strain highlight its adaptability and potential ecological roles, particularly in host-associated habitats, where it may interact with other microbial communities and influence various biological processes. Understanding such characteristics is crucial in studying E. coli's ecological dynamics and its implications in health and disease contexts.
