| Description | Enterobacteriaceae bacterium UBA3516 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. This organism exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, thriving in moderate temperature conditions typical of many environments inhabited by enteric bacteria. As a chemoheterotroph, E. bacterium UBA3516 derives its energy from organic compounds, making it dependent on the availability of carbon sources for its metabolic processes. The facultative anaerobic nature of this bacterium allows it to adapt to varying oxygen levels, enabling it to survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This metabolic versatility is a characteristic trait of many members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, enhancing their ecological resilience and adaptability. While specific habitat details for UBA3516 are not documented, these bacteria are often found in diverse niches, including soil, water, and as part of the gut microbiota of various organisms. One noteworthy ecological insight is the potential role of Enterobacteriaceae bacterium UBA3516 in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the degradation of organic matter in the environment. By breaking down complex organic molecules, this bacterium may contribute to nutrient cycling, aiding in soil fertility and impacting the microbial community dynamics in its surroundings. Understanding the ecological functions of such bacteria can shed light on their significance in maintaining ecosystem health and stability. |
