4 days ago · Escherichia coli ( / ˌɛʃəˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlaɪ / ESH-ə-RIK-ee-ə KOH-ly) [1] [2] is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms. [3] [4] Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes such as EPEC, and ETEC are ...

May 2, 2024 · This is achievable in some well-studied bacteria, with models of Escherichia coli metabolism now being produced and tested. This understanding of bacterial metabolism and genetics allows the use of biotechnology to bioengineer bacteria for the production of therapeutic proteins, such as insulin, growth factors, or antibodies.

Apr 30, 2024 · E. coli, ( Escherichia coli ), species of bacterium that normally inhabits the stomach and intestines. When E. coli is consumed in contaminated water, milk, or food or is transmitted through the bite of a fly or other insect, it can cause gastrointestinal illness. Mutations can lead to strains that cause diarrhea by giving off toxins, invading ...

3 days ago · Bacteriophage. Anatomy and infection cycle of bacteriophage T4. A bacteriophage ( / bækˈtɪərioʊfeɪdʒ / ), also known informally as a phage ( / ˈfeɪdʒ / ), is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea. The term was derived from "bacteria" and the Greek φαγεῖν ( phagein ), meaning "to devour".
Apr 30, 2024 · Escherichia coli is the best-characterized bacterial species and it has been extensively used in both basic molecular biology and biotechnology. E. coli was the first cell host to produce recombinant proteins, for instance insulin, and it is still used for the production of biopharmaceuticals. Also, its plasticity to incorporate heterologous functional genes and the advancement of genomic ...
