Escherichia coli K-12 strain SIEC033 34_NODE_141

Escherichia coli K-12 strain SIEC033 34_NODE_141 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and motility, facilitated by the presence of flagella. This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, indicating its ability to thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. Its optimal growth temperature is 37°C, which is consistent with its mesophilic nature, allowing it to flourish within a moderate temperature range. In terms of cellular organization, E. coli K-12 SIEC033 exhibits a cell arrangement that includes both singles and pairs. The strain possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its chromosomal structure, and is surrounded by two membranes, a characteristic feature of Gram-negative bacteria. Ecologically, E. coli K-12 strain SIEC033 is noted for its free-living biotic relationship, suggesting that it can exist independently in various environments, likely associated with host organisms. This adaptability to host-associated habitats underscores the strain's significance in both environmental microbiology and its role in the gut microbiome of many organisms. The accession number for this strain is SSZJ00000000.1, which provides a reference for further research and exploration of its genetic and functional characteristics. Understanding the traits of E. coli K-12 SIEC033 contributes to the broader knowledge of microbial ecology and the implications of such bacteria in health and disease contexts.
