In 2001, a complete genetic sequence was made of this organism's O157:H7 strain.
This organism developed the ability to metabolize citrate in one experiment, and it has been used in recombinant form to produce usable human insulin. Seymour Benzer used this organism with a T4 phage to investigate gene structure, and conjugation was first observed in it by Edward Tatum. In 2001, a complete genetic sequence was made of this organism's O157:H7 strain. That type may cause bloody diarrhea and kidney failure if consumed. For 10 points, name this model organism, a bacterium sometimes found in the intestines.
