Yersinia entomophaga str. MH96

Yersinia entomophaga strain MH96 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives under aerobic conditions, with an optimal growth temperature of 32.0°C. This strain is characterized by its non-spore-forming nature, which suggests a reliance on vegetative growth for survival and reproduction in its environment. Y. entomophaga is part of the larger Yersinia genus, which is known for its diverse ecological niches, primarily in association with various hosts. While the specific ecological role of strain MH96 is not detailed here, the traits observed suggest that it may be adapted to life in cooler environments, potentially influencing its interaction with other microorganisms and its overall ecological dynamics. The ability to grow optimally at 32.0°C could indicate a potential association with ectothermic hosts or environments where such temperatures are prevalent, such as in certain soil or decaying organic matter habitats. Overall, the physiological traits of Yersinia entomophaga strain MH96 position it as a microbe of interest for understanding microbial interactions in various ecological contexts, especially in relation to its aerobic metabolism and growth conditions.
