      I worked with bacteria a lot at college. We used to clone genes into them during our lab practical classes, and e-coli is the one that is always used for that kind of work. So I would say e-coli is probably the smallest one I have worked with.

      Same as Emma I used E coli for cloning but don’t really work on bacteria normally
