Escherichia coli KTE112

Escherichia coli KTE112 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in pairs or as single cells. This strain thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which aligns with the physiological temperature of its host organisms. As a facultative anaerobe, E. coli KTE112 can grow in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, allowing it to adapt to various oxygen availability conditions within its host-associated habitat. The ability of E. coli KTE112 to inhabit host environments suggests a significant role in the microbiota of its host, contributing to various biological processes, including nutrient metabolism and immune modulation. The presence of this strain in host-associated habitats highlights the intricate relationships that bacteria maintain with their hosts, potentially influencing host health and disease dynamics. Understanding the specific traits and adaptability of E. coli KTE112 may provide insights into its functional role within the microbial community of the host and its contributions to overall host physiology.
