Answer 1

EcoRI is a restriction endonuclease that is isolated from the bacterium Escherichia coli.

In EcoRI, Eco represents the species of bacteria from which it is isolated i.e. Escherichia coli. R represents the strain of the bacteria which is RY-13 in this case. I represent that it was the first enzyme isolated from this strain.

Answer 2

Answer:

EcoRI (pronounced "eco R one") is a restriction endonuclease enzyme isolated from species E. coli. The Eco part of the enzyme's name originates from the species from which it was isolated, while the R represents the particular strain, in this case RY13.
