Eggerthella lenta DSM 2243

Taxonomy
Names	Eggerthella lenta DSM 2243
Accession numbers	NC_013204
Background	Eggerthella lenta (strain ATCC 25559 / DSM 2243 / JCM 9979 / NCTC 11813 / VPI 0255) is an anaerobic, non-motile, non-sporulating pathogenic Gram-positive bacterium isolated from a rectal tumor in 1935. E. lenta is commonly found in blood and human intestinal microflora and can cause severe bacteremia. Its optimal growth temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. Growth is stimulated by arginine which is an important energy source via arginine dihydrolase pathway. It is bile-resistant. (Adapted from PMID 21304654). (EBI Integr8)
