Hi, I’m Doug, Team ASIJ_Tokyo’s E. coli mascot! My peritrichous flagella helped me move and due to my simple ability to cultivate, Team ASIJ_Tokyo chose me to conduct experiments with. My genome is easily manipulated and well-known, which makes me ideal to work with in labs. However, even small amounts of myself can cause infections so Team ASIJ_Tokyo always handles me with care. It’s nice to meet you all, and I hope we can work together in future labs!
