Escherichia coli or E. coli is an anaerobic bacterium that lives in the intestines of some organisms. It has an optimum temperature of 37 degree Celsius, which allows it to replicate and grow.

....Is the temperature of the gut in which E. coli lives, so you might call that 'optimal.' Note that the optimal growth rate for E. coli is actually a bit higher, around 40.6 C assuming normal conditions. Its doubling rate at that temperature is lower on average then the rate at 37 C.

∙ 12y agoEscherichia coli, or E. coli for short, is bacteria that is found in the intestines of humans and other animals. Some strains can cause diarrhea from toxins they produce. To prevent infection from contaminated meats, they should be cooked before eating to a temperature that will kill the bacteria, which is to cook until the meat temperature is a minimum of 160 degrees F. for ground beef. Venison should be cooked to 165 degrees F to be sure E. coli is killed, according to a government web site. Use safe handling techniques in the kitchen to avoid contaminating surfaces and other foods and wash hands well with warm soap and water after touching raw meats or surfaces they have touched.

What kingdom do Escherichia coli belong?
E.Coli belongs to the eubacteria kingdom. E. Coli also belongs to the bacteria domain, the proteobacteria, and the coli species.
What kind of friction shown in a pushed chair?
Escherichia coli , salmonella, Staphylococcus
Types of coccus bacteria?
The coli are rod shaped and often care called coliforms. As a group, they are indicators of sanitary conditions in food and water. E. coli are a member of this group. It can be found in the colon of warm blooded animals. Finding them is an indication that other disease causing microbes may be present (a red flag).
Can you list the 5 kingdom of organism with example?
Kingdom Animalia (Animal Kingdom) ex: dogs, monkeys, snakes, birds, worms, fishKingdom Plantae (Plant Kingdom) ex: cactus, pine tree, fern, apple treeKingdom Fungi (Fungus) ex: mushroomKingdom Protista (Protists) ex: Euglena, red algae, kelp, diatomsKingdom Monera (Bacteria) ex: Clostridium tetani - causes tetanus, Escherichia coli - E. coli
Do humans offer a habitat for other small living organisms?
Quite so; large numbers of bacteria live within human bodies, especially e. coli which lives in the intestines.
Why is E. coli incubated at 37?
E. coli lives in the intestines and is adapted for living there. The average body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius
Can E. coli live at 100 degrees celsius for a short period of time?
Escherichia coli, also known as E. Coli lives in temperatures of 25 and 40 degrees Celsius. It has been previously tested and found that E.coli can not live at 100 degrees Celsius, but in fact it would hibernate.
What temperature does E. coli die at?
E Coli is a disease-bearing organism which is highly resistant to heat and can only die when exposed to temperatures 72 degrees Celsius and above.
What organisms grow best at 37 degrees Celsius?
e coli because optimal growth of E. coli occurs at 37°C (98.6°F)
Why the plates need to be storedincubated at two different temperature?
i do not no find out your self
What is the pH of E. coli?
E Coli: Optimum pH [6-7] Minimum 4.4; Maximum 9.0 http://www.textbookofbacteriology.net/nutgro_4.html
What is the minimum temperature for E. coli?
The growth of Escherichia coli cells is impaired at temperatures below 21 degrees C and stops at 7.5 degrees C; however, growth of a transgenic strain producing the cold-adapted chaperones Cpn60 and Cpn10 from the psychrophilic bacterium Oleispira antarctica is good at low temperatures. The E. coli cpn(+) transgene offers a novel opportunity for examining the essential protein for cell viability at low temperatures.
Why does repeated freezing and thawing increase bacterial growth in meat?
If meat is consistently thawed and frozen, a constant temperature is not maintain. Bacteria such as E. Coli will grow when meat is not stored below 40 degrees.
What are the symmptoms of E. coli?
Diarrhea, high body temperature, pain during urination.
Is E. coli considered a thermophile?
No. Though Escherichia coli can survive in a wide temperature range, they are Bacteria. Thermophiles belong to the Domain of Archaea, the extremophiles; extreme temperatures and pressures.
What happens to bacteria in the danger zone?
The danger zone is a range of temperatures at which most pathogenic bacteria (such as E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter) will multiply rapidly at. Raw foods with internal temperatures in the danger zone may become unsafe to eat within two hours due to increased numbers of these bacteria.
How do you kill ecoli in food?
Cook it well enough so the Escherichia coli dies.
