No, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is not a fungus. E. coli is a type of bacteria, specifically a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family and the Escherichia genus. Bacteria and fungi are two different types of microorganisms with distinct characteristics. Bacteria, like E. coli, are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that include multicellular organisms like mushrooms as well as single-celled yeasts. Therefore, E. coli is not classified as a fungus.
