Escherichia coli DH5α (also written DH5) is a widely used laboratory strain engineered specifically for molecular cloning and DNA amplification; it carries genetic mutations that make it incapable of recombination and generally safe for research use, but it is not a recognized probiotic or gut health organism. The literature associated with this strain is entirely laboratory and biotechnology in nature — covering cell encapsulation for bioreactor use, transformation efficiency, and herbicide degradation studies. It has no role in human probiotic applications and is described here solely in a taxonomic and research-tool context.
Where it's been studied Tags come from a conservative keyword scan of each paper's title, abstract, and summary. A tag is research coverage, not measured effect. How we classify this →
Share of this strain's 3 body-system-tagged papers that concern each system. Research coverage, not measured effect.
Research Study-type filters use AI-classified labels, audited but not guaranteed — check the paper itself before leaning on one. How we classify this →
97 papers reference this strain in the probiotic database.
Match confidence
How strongly this paper was matched to this strain when the corpus was linked. It orders the list — it says nothing about the study's quality or its findings.
