Escherichia coli strain CVM N17EC1028

Escherichia coli strain CVM N17EC1028 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in pairs or as single cells. This strain is categorized as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, which is indicative of its versatility in various host-associated habitats. It prefers an optimal growth temperature of 37.0°C, aligning with the typical body temperature of many warm-blooded hosts, suggesting a potential adaptation to live in association with these organisms. The ability of strain CVM N17EC1028 to exist in pairs or singles may influence its interactions with host organisms and its role in the host microbiome. The facultative anaerobic nature of this strain could also play a significant role in its ecological niche, allowing it to metabolize substrates effectively under varying oxygen conditions. Understanding the growth characteristics and ecological adaptations of E. coli strain CVM N17EC1028 may provide insights into its potential functions in the microbiome of its host, as well as its contributions to metabolic processes and nutrient cycling within that environment. The strain's adaptability indicates its potential resilience in fluctuating conditions, which is critical for survival in competitive microbial ecosystems associated with hosts.
