Escherichia coli 2362-75

Escherichia coli 2362-75 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain is typically found in host-associated habitats, indicating a relationship with living organisms. E. coli 2362-75 exhibits mobility, which is facilitated by the presence of flagella. The optimal growth temperature for this bacterium is 37°C, aligning with the typical body temperature of warm-blooded hosts, which suggests its adaptation to inhabit such environments. E. coli 2362-75 is classified as mesophilic, thriving in moderate temperature ranges conducive to its growth. With a single replicon and two membranes, E. coli 2362-75 adheres to the typical structural characteristics of Gram-negative bacteria. Its biotic relationship is categorized as free-living, indicating that while it may associate with hosts, it can also exist independently in the environment. The accession number for this strain is ADUL00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic and functional studies. The traits of E. coli 2362-75 highlight its adaptability to various environments, including the human gut, where it plays a role in maintaining microbial balance. Its ability to exist freely while also being associated with hosts underscores the ecological importance of E. coli in nutrient cycling and microbial interactions within ecosystems.
