Escherichia coli strain CVM N17EC1199

Escherichia coli strain CVM N17EC1199 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists in pairs or singles and is categorized as a facultative anaerobe. This strain thrives at an optimal temperature of 37.0°C, which is consistent with the body temperature of warm-blooded hosts, indicating its adaptation to a host-associated habitat. As a member of the E. coli species, strain CVM N17EC1199 likely occupies various niches within the gastrointestinal tracts of its hosts, contributing to the complex microbial community. The facultative anaerobic metabolism allows this strain to survive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor environments, enabling it to exploit diverse ecological conditions within the host. Given its rod shape and cell arrangement, strain CVM N17EC1199 may engage in specific interactions with host tissues or other microbial inhabitants, potentially influencing nutrient cycling or microbial competition within its habitat. Understanding the physiological traits of this strain can enhance our knowledge of its role in the microbiome and its potential responses to environmental changes within the host ecosystem.
