Escherichia coli H736

Escherichia coli H736 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its ability to exist in pairs or as single cells. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which is consistent with the typical physiological conditions found in warm-blooded hosts. As a facultative anaerobe, E. coli H736 can adapt to varying oxygen conditions, allowing it to grow in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. The host-associated habitat of E. coli H736 indicates its potential role within the microbiota of certain organisms, contributing to the complex interactions that occur in host-associated ecosystems. While specific ecological interactions and functions of this strain are not detailed in the available data, its capacity to thrive in diverse environments suggests a significant adaptability and resilience, potentially facilitating its survival in various host conditions. Understanding the characteristics of E. coli H736 could provide insights into its ecological roles and contributions to host health or disease, especially given the broader context of E. coli as a model organism in microbiological research.
