Differences among Escherichia clades in the growth rate of isolates^a

Escherichia clade	No. of strains	Maximum growth rate (h⁻¹)	Optimal temp (°C)
E. fergusonii	6	0.95^A	41.1^A
Clade V	22	0.94^A	41.7^A
E. coli	38	0.93^A	41.7^A
E. albertii	13	0.92^A	41.9^A
Clade IV	5	0.91^A	41.5^A
Clade III	6	0.88^A	41.0^A

Means with the same superscript capital letter are not significantly different (Student t test, α = 0.05).
