Enterococcus durans
A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, coccoid bacterium belonging to the genus Enterococcus, characterized by spherical or ovoid cells arranged singly, in pairs, or short chains. It exhibits facultative anaerobic metabolism, tolerates a range of environmental conditions including high salt concentrations, and grows optimally at moderate temperatures (approximately 30–37 °C). E. durans is used in fermented food production, probiotic applications, and microbiological research due to its ability to produce lactic acid and contribute to gut microbial balance.
