| Comments |
The measured generation time of E. coli in the large intestine of a gnotobiotic mouse is 30 min, significantly faster than the 3-h half-life of the intestinal contents in mice (primary source). A gnotobiotic animal is an animal in which only certain known strains of bacteria and other microorganisms are present (wiki). See BNID 105657 |
