No, E. coli is not an anaerobe. It is a facultative anaerobe, which means it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen. E. coli is capable of performing aerobic respiration when oxygen is available, but it can also switch to fermentation or anaerobic respiration when oxygen is limited. This adaptability allows E. coli to thrive in various environments with different oxygen levels.
