Escherichia coli is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae and has been described by Brenner (1984). Escherichia is a Gram-negative rod which can be motile by peritrichous flagella or nonmotile. Escherichia is also a facultative anaerobe which has both a respiratory and a fermentative type of metabolism, and commonly occurs in the intestinal tract of humans and other animals. The strain E. coli K-12 is a debilitated strain which does not normally colonize the human intestine. It has also been shown to survive poorly in the environment, has a history of safe commercial use, and is not known to have adverse effects on microorganisms or plants. | Escherichia coli is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae and has been described by Brenner (1984).
