This bacteria was first discovered in the late 1800âs. Since then, it has had a long history of use in scientific research. It is the most widely used organism in molecular genetics. Part of the reason E. coli is commonly used in scientific research is that it is easy to grow in a lab. The factors that make E. coli easy to grow are its simple nutritional needs, fast growth rate and its moderate maintenance requirements.
What kind of igneous rock texture results from slow cooling magma? A coarse grained texture, referred to as a phaneritic texture, will be the resultant igneous rock texture. The slower the magma cools the more time minerals have to crystall â¦ ize and thus grow bigger.
1 Magma is molten rock that flows beneath the earth's surface. 2  Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma. 3  The location of the formation of the rock, as well as how fast the magma cools will determine the type of igneous rock. 4  Intrusive rocks form from the cooling of magma deep beneath the earths surface. An example of an intrusive rock is granite. 2  When magma is above the earth's crust, it is known as lava. 3  Extrusive rocks form through very fast cooling of lava above the Earth's surface. 4  Extrusive rocks have very small, almost microscopic crystals.
