Enterobacter hormaechei strain KCJ3K19

Enterobacter hormaechei strain KCJ3K19 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium classified as a facultative anaerobe. This strain is characterized by the presence of flagella, which facilitates its motility. It is mesophilic, indicating that it thrives in moderate temperature ranges. The strain possesses two replicons, which may contribute to its genetic diversity and adaptability. Enterobacter hormaechei is known to have a free-living biotic relationship, allowing it to exist independently in various environments. Notably, strain KCJ3K19 has been identified in association with several hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Triticum aestivum (wheat), and Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato). This association suggests that the strain may play a role in the microbiota of these organisms or in the soil environments where they are cultivated. The presence of Enterobacter hormaechei in diverse hosts highlights its ecological versatility and potential significance in both human health and agriculture. Its ability to thrive in association with important crops like wheat and sweet potato points to its possible role in plant-microbe interactions, which could influence nutrient cycling or disease resistance. Understanding the interactions of this strain within its various habitats could provide insights into its ecological impact and potential applications in biocontrol or soil health enhancement.
