Enterococcus faecalis strain KUB3007

Enterococcus faecalis strain KUB3007 is a Gram-positive coccus that exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism, utilizing organic compounds as a chemoorganotrophic energy source. This strain does not form spores and thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C, which corresponds to the human body temperature, suggesting a potential association with warm-blooded hosts. The versatility of E. faecalis strain KUB3007 in terms of habitat is noteworthy, as this microbe can inhabit multiple environments, which may include both human and environmental niches. Its ability to grow in varying oxygen conditions further enhances its adaptability, allowing it to occupy diverse ecological roles. The unique combination of traits in E. faecalis strain KUB3007 positions it as a significant player in microbial communities, particularly in environments where organic matter is abundant. Its presence in various habitats may contribute to nutrient cycling and ecological balance. Additionally, the strain's facultative anaerobic nature indicates a potential resilience to fluctuating oxygen levels, which could facilitate its survival and proliferation in dynamic ecosystems. This adaptability underscores the ecological importance of Enterococcus faecalis in both natural and anthropogenic environments.
