Enterococcus faecalis CH188

Enterococcus faecalis CH188 is a Gram-positive cocci that thrives at an optimal temperature of 37.0°C and adopts a facultative anaerobic lifestyle, allowing it to grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen. This organism is classified as a chemoorganotroph, indicating that it derives its energy from organic compounds, which can be found in various habitats. The broad habitat range of E. faecalis CH188 suggests a versatile ecological adaptability, enabling it to inhabit diverse environments, including human-associated niches. This organism's ability to function as a facultative anaerobe and utilize organic substrates may contribute to its ecological resilience in fluctuating conditions. Furthermore, the adaptability to different oxygen levels can facilitate its survival in various environments, from soil and water to more complex biological systems. Understanding the traits of E. faecalis CH188 not only underscores its metabolic flexibility but also highlights its potential roles in microbial communities, where it may interact with other microorganisms and contribute to nutrient cycling.
