Answer:
The division time for E. coli and similar microorganisms ranges from 20 minutes to 1 hour. Thus a single E. coli cell, which divides approximately every 30 minutes, can grow into a colony containing 107 – 108 cells in 12 hours (224 = 1.7 × 107).

Answer:
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of people and animals. Most E. coli are harmless and actually are an important part of a healthy human intestinal tract. However, some E. coli are pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness, either diarrhea or illness outside of the intestinal tract. The types of E. coli that can cause diarrhea can be transmitted through contaminated water or food, or through contact with animals or persons.
