  2. Dec 31, 2022 · Escherichia coli have served as important model organisms for over a century—used to elucidate key aspects of genetics, evolution, molecular biology, and pathogenesis. However, defining which strains actually belong to this species is erratic and unstable due to shifts in the characters and criteria used to distinguish bacterial species.

  8. Nov 11, 2022 · E. coli is a gram-negative, non-sporulating, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic, and coliform bacterium pertaining to the genus Escherichia that commonly inhabits the environment, foods, and warm-blooded animals' lower gut [ 2 ]. In the domains of biotechnology and microbiology, it is the most widely studied prokaryotic model organism.
