| Description | Enterobacter mori LMG 25706 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating bacillus that belongs to the Enterobacter genus. As a mesophilic microorganism, E. mori thrives at moderate temperatures, making it well-suited for environments that typically range from 20°C to 45°C. This bacterium is a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy and carbon from organic compounds, which positions it effectively within various ecological niches. The strain was first isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a silkworm (Bombyx mori), highlighting its potential role in the gut microbiome of this organism. The relationship between E. mori and its host may illustrate a symbiotic interaction, where the bacterium contributes to digestion or provides essential nutrients, while benefiting from a nutrient-rich environment. This association emphasizes the importance of microbial diversity in the health and development of insects. Given its classification within the Enterobacter genus, which includes species of clinical significance, E. mori could offer insights into microbial behaviors, resistance mechanisms, and interactions within both natural and affected ecosystems. Understanding its ecological role could prove beneficial in silkworm cultivation, potentially enhancing sustainable practices in sericulture. This highlights the broader implications of studying such microbes, as they could lead to innovations in agriculture, biotechnology, and health. |
