Vibrio cholerae strain A1552

Vibrio cholerae strain A1552 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists as single cells. This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. Its optimal growth temperature is around 20.0°C, suggesting a preference for cooler habitats. As a heterotroph, V. cholerae strain A1552 utilizes organic compounds for energy, which enables it to inhabit diverse ecological niches. The ability of this strain to adapt to varying oxygen levels and its broad habitat range highlight its ecological versatility. This adaptability may facilitate its survival in fluctuating environmental conditions, such as those found in estuarine and coastal waters where temperatures can vary. Understanding the physiological traits of V. cholerae strain A1552 could provide insights into its potential roles in microbial communities and biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystems.
