Colour

Why does E Coli appear pink? Because of Lipids in the membrane? --2A01:112F:742:C00:129:9EAB:F059:D30 (talk) 10:18, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is no color on the electron microscope pics. The color is just there to enhance the contrast. --Artoria 2e5 🌉 18:33, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question hour About E coli??

What are the uses of E-coli in industrial level? Did they are used in the production of any chemicals or any food items? Abinjannath (talk) 10:44, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abinjannath, Escherichia_coli#Model_organism_in_life_science_research already answers the question. Follow the "main article" link of Escherichia coli in molecular biology and you will see what we use it for. --Artoria 2e5 🌉 18:33, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Role in Renewable Propane

I think the role of E.coli in the generation of renewable propane deserves a section. There has been a lot of speculation about the process used by Pauli Kallio and others to generate renewable propane from E.coli.^[1]CessnaMan1989 (talk) 14:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual Transmission of Urinary Tract Infection

Wow. Nothing about E. coli "sexual transmission" between humans, during anal sex and vulvic exchanges? Shouldn't that common piece of knowledge, of urinary tract infection (UTI), as an STD, and the primary STD vehicle for an infection be included? It is missing. There are plenty of references on it. I would add this to the article, but I don't know which tribe owns this article. Stevenmitchell (talk) 19:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
