Our iGEM team is using E. Coli ( the K-12 strain) as our bacteria for testing. In humans, E. Coli is isolated in the intestines where it helps with digestive process; however, when ingested or inhaled, E.

To prevent this outcome, many lab safety techniques and guidelines are used.<br> | Our iGEM team is using E. Coli ( the K-12 strain) as our bacteria for testing. In humans, E.
