Escherichia coli KTE100

Escherichia coli KTE100 is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium that typically inhabits host-associated environments. It is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. This bacterium is characterized by its mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella. E. coli KTE100 generally exists as single cells or in pairs. The optimal temperature for the growth of E. coli KTE100 is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This temperature preference aligns with the typical conditions found in the intestines of warm-blooded hosts, where many E. coli strains are commonly found. The bacterium has a biotic relationship that is classified as free-living, indicating it can survive independently of a host, although it is often associated with hosts in natural settings. E. coli KTE100 possesses a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, a characteristic structure of Gram-negative bacteria. The accession number ASVF00000000.1 identifies its genomic data, providing a basis for further study and understanding of its genetic makeup. In summary, E. coli KTE100 exemplifies the adaptability of bacteria to various environments, particularly within host organisms. Its ability to thrive in mesophilic conditions and its facultative anaerobic nature suggest a significant role in the gut microbiome, contributing to the complex interactions within microbial communities and influencing the health of its host.
