Niche preference of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in a peri-urban pond ecosystem
2020-01-30
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli comprises of diverse strains with a large accessory genome, indicating functional diversity and the ability to adapt to a range of niches. Specific strains would display greatest fitness in niches matching their combination of phenotypic traits. Given this hypothesis, we sought to determine whether E. coli in a peri-urban pond and associated cattle pasture display niche preference. Samples were c...
