Organizing E.coli is harder than herding cats. Trust me.
We all just had a little conference. They reminded me of Benjamin Franklin's thought: "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." This preceded Darwin, but surely he foresaw the evolution-deniers.
Question: do you happen to know if our primate cousins also depend on E.coli? Escheria or a different strain?
No, can't help on that one. Had only one course in primates and with the large number of critters we never got into the fine details such as that.
