E.coli genome constist of a SINGLE circular chromosome containing 4.6 Mb i.e. 4.6 X 10^6 bases.
The weight of one base is 330 daltons and 1 Dalton is equal to 1.661^-24g. there fore the CHROMOSOMAL WEIGHT (in micrograms) is 660 X 1.661 X 10^-18 X 4.6 X 10^6
which is equal to 5.043 X 10^-9 MICROGRAMS.

in nature, where does e coli grow
Is there a cure for E. coli?
yes there is a cure for E. Coli

Why E coli chromosome is circular?
The circular shape of the E. coli chromosome allows for efficient replication and segregation during cell division. It also provides stability and allows the bacterium to quickly access genetic information when needed. The compact circular structure is beneficial for a single-cell organism like E. coli to efficiently manage its genetic material.
How many base pair long is the E. coli chromosome?
There are several different strains of E. coli, each having about five million (5,000,000) base pairs. For example, uropathogenic E. coli (the one commonly associated with urinary tract infections) has about 5,231,428 base pairs, while E. coli K-12 has 4,639,221. The number of base pairs an organism has in its genes is commonly referred to as genome size. A web search for "genome size E. coli" is how I found these numbers.
