How does e. coli's digestion work?

Question

I have this project and i'm looking for how e. coli digests, how its circulation system works, and how it does excecretion. Any bit of info would help. Thanks = ]

Answer 1

E.coli is a gram negative bacteria. Being a single cell, it doesn't need a circulatory system. Bacteria generally digest things by excreting exoenzymes that digest large molecules and then absorbing the resulting small molecules.

Answer 2

Escherichia coli (pronounced /ˌɛʃɪˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlaɪ/) (E. coli), is a bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded animals. Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some, such as serotype O157:H7, can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for costly product recalls.[1][2] The harmless strains are part of the normal flora of the gut, and can benefit their hosts by producing vitamin K2,[3] or by preventing the establishment of pathogenic bacteria within the intestine
