Escherichia coli diet.

E. coli is a type of bacteria. By the way of feeding, they are heterotrophs. From the host’s body, they especially need carbon to feed them, since the composition of E. coli mainly contains carbon molecules. Also in the diet are minerals and breakdown products of amino acids. Some E. coli are pathogenic in nature. Once inside the body, this species causes great harm. These can be serious infectious diseases of organs and body systems.
