Symbiosis~!~!

Humans and E. coli have form of symbiosis called mutualism. Mutualism is a form of symbiosis in which both organisms benefit. Our class is creating a book containing different kinds of symbiosis. Parasitism and commensalism are other forms of symbiosis. On the internet I found lot of different information about the relationship between humans and E. coli. E. coli obtains warmth, shelter, and nutrients from the colon. Humans get lots of vitamin K and sodium. Most forms of E. coli don't cause disease. E.coli can be caused my undercooked meat or bad vegetables. E. coli can produce up to 500ml of gas per day. I think that knowing more about how e. coli and humans react together can help you in everyday life because you would be able to tell if you had E. coli and what you should avoid to prevent it.
