Biochemical traits that <i>Escherichia coli</i> evolved during its adaption to the gastrointestinal tract of humans

2019-05-08

Abstract excerpt

What biochemical tricks did Escherichia coli obtained or evolved during its time as a commensal in the human gastrointestinal system? E. coli is a natural symbiont of the human gastrointestinal tract. Thus, through evolutionary timescales, the bacterium must have co-evolved with humans with conditions in the gastrointestinal tract serving as selection pressure for the evolution of a variety of biochemical and ph...
