Escherichia coli ATCC 8739

Product Description
Escherichia coli ATCC® 8739 is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobe member of the Enterobacteriaceae. The organism, one of the most extensively studied bacteria in microbiology, exhibits remarkable metabolic flexibility and is widely distributed in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals. E. coli ATCC® 8739 is a model organism in microbiological research for analysis of antibiotic resistance, bacterial growth, and gene expression.

Key Features

Gram-Negative & Facultative Anaerobe: Escherichia coli is Gram-Negative and can live with or without oxygen, making it exceptionally adaptable for the laboratory.
Non-pathogenic: ATCC® 8739 is a non-pathogenic strain, making it generally safe for use in the laboratory.
For Research Use: Often used in microbial genetics, metabolism, and microbial physiology.
Lactose Fermentation: This strain ferments lactose, producing both acid and gas, which enables it to be distinguished from other organisms.
Antimicrobial Testing: This is a standard procedure used to test the effectiveness of antimicrobials and antibiotics.
