Unlike other bacteria, E. coli's cell cycle is not linked to a developmental program
E. coli grows robustly in various conditions in both nutrient-poor and nutrient-rich environments. In slow growth, replication and division occur in one cycle. In fast growth, cells divide faster than chromosome replication. This involves overlapping rounds of replication. Initiation can occur before the previous round ends
Escherichia coli (E. coli) belongs to the dopamine-producing species and to the species in the healthy human gut; the abundance is middle: about 1.87% of all species in the healthy human gut
