Escherichia coli str. N11-1317

Escherichia coli strain N11-1317 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a cell arrangement primarily in pairs and singles. This strain thrives at an optimal temperature of 37.0°C, which aligns with the typical physiological temperature of its host-associated habitat. As a facultative anaerobe, E. coli N11-1317 possesses the metabolic versatility to survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, enabling it to adapt to various conditions within its host. The host-associated habitat of E. coli N11-1317 suggests a close relationship with its environment, likely influencing its metabolic pathways and interactions with the host's microbiota. This adaptability may play a crucial role in its survival, allowing it to exploit different resources and niches within the host. Such characteristics underscore the importance of E. coli strains in understanding microbial dynamics and host-microbe interactions. Further research on E. coli N11-1317 could provide valuable insights into its ecological roles and potential applications in biotechnology or medicine, particularly in the context of microbial ecology within host systems.
