Thread: Longest lived empires/states in history. 1 out of 1 members found this post helpful. Many lists have been written about the most long-lived empires or states in the history of mankind and oddly enough nobody seems to agree on the ranking.
E. coli is a Gram-negative (bacteria which do not retain crystal violet dye), facultative anaerobic (that makes ATP by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present, but is capable of switching to fermentation or anaerobic respiration if oxygen is absent) and nonsporulating bacterium.
For E. coli in molecular biology, see Escherichia coli (molecular biology) . Escherichia coli (/ËÉÊÉ¨ËrÉªkiÉ ËkoÊlaÉª/ ; also known as E. coli) is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms).he genome sequence of the type strain of E. coli has been added to this collection not before 2014. Comparison of these sequences shows a remarkable amount of diversity; only about 20% of each genome represents sequences present in every one of the isolates, while around 80% of each genome can vary among isolates.
