Escherichia coli O25b:H4 strain B1212-PB_2012 unitig_2

Escherichia coli O25b:H4 strain B1212-PB_2012 unitig_2 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is characterized by its ability to exist in host-associated environments. This strain exhibits a cell arrangement of pairs and singles and is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The optimal temperature for growth is 37°C, which is within the mesophilic temperature range, highlighting its adaptability to warm-blooded hosts. This strain is motile, possessing flagella that enable it to move effectively within its habitat. E. coli O25b:H4 strain B1212-PB_2012 has a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. It displays a free-living biotic relationship, suggesting that while it may be found in association with hosts, it is capable of independent existence in various environments. The accession number for this strain is SEVH00000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic studies. Understanding the traits of E. coli O25b:H4 strain B1212-PB_2012 can contribute to our knowledge of its ecological role, particularly in relation to its adaptability and mobility in diverse habitats. Its facultative anaerobic nature and mesophilic growth preferences indicate potential interactions with both environmental and host-associated microbial communities, reinforcing its significance in microbiological research and potential implications in health and disease contexts.
