2. Commonly known as E. coli, this is a gram-negative,
rod-shaped bacterium and is found in many warm
blooded animals intestines. While most strains are
harmless, some can cause serious food poisoning.

anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that can be found
in animals intestines and is the third most common
cause of food poisoning in the United States.

which is the causal agent in Crown Gall disease
in dicots as well as a serious pathogen in many
legumes.
