What happen to lac repressor in E. coli when lactose is present?
E. coli binds with lactose which changes its conformation so that it no longer binds to DNA. This allows the lactose operon to be transcribed.
What is appearance for E coli?
For colony appearance u want to describe what it looks like on agar not under a microscope. In terms of color it depends on what type of growth medium u are using but if it's just plain nutrient agar:
Pigmentation: Colorless
Opacity: Translucent
Form: Circular
Margin: entire
Surface: Smooth
Elevation: Raised.
Why do E. coli cultures smell bad?
E.Coli, like most bacteria, smells different on different media. E-coli created on a dead fish would smell like rotting fish.
Does Brita filters remove ecoli?
They are supposed to remove disease causing bacteria by 99.99999%, this includes Cholera, Salmonella, Typhoid, E. coli,and others.
Most of animals carry E.coli in their intestines, including humans.
What are fungal diseases generally referred to?
Fungal diseases are called mycoses and those affecting humans can be divided into four groups based on the level of penetration into the body tissues
Why do penicillin and ampicilin work on salbus but not e coli?
E. coli produces an enzyme known as beta-lactamase, which makes it resistant to penicillin and ampicillin, whereas salbus does not.
No. E.coli is bacteria, but can be transmitted by plants, such as vegetable and fruits.
What is important about E. coli?
:
: E coli (Escherichia coli) is bacteria that lives in digestive tract of human or animal body. E.coli produces vitamin K and some of vitamins from group B, so it is actually good for us. : Some strains of E.coli such as H0157 are dangerous and can cause infections and death.

Can germs at the fair cause E. coli?
If you pet the livestock and then go get something to eat without washing your hands first, then yes, you would be at risk for E coli infection.
How does phenolic disinfectant kill e-coli?
Bacteria such as E. coli are classified into two categories: Gram + and Gram -. Gram's staining is an indication of the bacterial cell wall thickness. One is not more pathogenic than others, there are Gram + and Gram - pathogenic bacteria. Bottom line: All bacteria have cell walls.
Phenolic disinfectant acts as a poison, penetrating and disrupting the cell wall and precipitating the cell proteins. They cause bacterial death by inactivation of essential enzyme systems and leakage of essential metabolites from the cell wall.
Once the protective cell wall is disrupted and the bacteria loses key enzymes, it dies.
Unlike Taq DNA polymerase, E.coli DNA polymerase is not heat-stable and will denature during the strand denaturation step of the PCR reaction.
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.
In what food does E. coli grow?
It does not really grow in food. It is found in fecal matter (crap). Food that comes into contact with this crap becomes contaminated. Also, certain types of fertilizer can contain e-coli. If this fertilizer is put on crops such as lettuce, then even a salad can be contaminated if not washed properly beforehand.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) has tentacle like extrusions that rotate and can cause the bacteria to swim through the fluid it inhabits. It moves into animals by being eaten, especially E. coli infected fruit and uncooked meat.
How to Tell the difference between E. coli and enterobacter aerogenes?
when you plate E.coli onto a EMB plate the colonies turn shinie metalic green, EMB is selective for gut bacteria and it diferentiates E.coli.
How big is a blood cell how does its size compare to a dust mite and then E coli bacteria?
why did the Sherman anti trust act end laissez-faire
Is E coli a example of a eukaryote?
Nope. E Coli is a bacteria, therefore, it is a prokaryote, NOT eukaryote
