Hello,
We are doing a discusion in Biology class about bacterium.
I am stuck In this bacteria:Escherichia coli I have no idea what to add to the description my classmate did. Can you please help me with that? (I would apreciate a short ansewr :)
He wrote this:
Escherichia coli is a bacterium which is normally present in human and animal intestine; this bacterium has some unique properties, which are needed to be known by the health care professionals. A special feature is the fact that this bacterium has the beneficial effect for human health, but also pathogenic strains, such as Escherichia coli O157: H7 causes diseases, for example, gastrointestinal colibacillosis, and life-threatening condition – hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
Also, E. coli is a facultative anaerobe categorized as an organism that uses both aerobic respiration and fermentation when making energy and nutrients. This metabolic versatility enables E. coli to live in different conditions and change as the conditions…

Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that produces one of the strongest known toxins, called botulinum toxin (BoNT). It grows in environments without oxygen, like soil or improperly preserved foods, and forms tough spores that can survive harsh conditions (Rawson et al., 2023c). Once the conditions improve, like in low-oxygen environments, the spores become active and release the dangerous toxin, leading to botulism, a life-threatening illness that causes muscle paralysis and breathing problems. C. botulinum produces energy through anaerobic respiration, which means it doesn't require oxygen to survive and can be harmed by it. Instead, it uses fermentation to break down sugars and amino acids to generate energy.…
