Vibrio cholerae MO10

Vibrio cholerae MO10 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists as single cells. This strain is categorized as a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen, which allows it to thrive in diverse environments. V. cholerae MO10 is a heterotrophic organism, relying on organic compounds as its energy source, which further indicates its adaptability to various habitats where organic matter is available. Optimal growth for Vibrio cholerae MO10 occurs at a temperature of 20.0°C, suggesting a potential preference for cooler aquatic environments, as many Vibrio species are commonly found in marine and estuarine ecosystems. The ability to survive in multiple habitats underscores the ecological versatility of this strain within different environmental contexts. Understanding the traits of Vibrio cholerae MO10 can provide insights into its ecological role, particularly in nutrient cycling within aquatic systems. Its heterotrophic nature and facultative anaerobic metabolism may contribute to the breakdown of organic materials, thereby playing a significant role in the microbial community dynamics of its habitat.
