Ideal environment for E. Coli growth?

This summer, I'm likely going to be doing a study on E. Coli. I know most strains are fairly harmless (O157:H7 not being one of them, but I do not believe this is one I'll be working with), and that it will grow in temperatures around 37C, perhaps up to 49C, but what are the ideal conditions for growth and culture of this bacteria? Can it be grown in environments maintained below 98.6F? Can it survive any room temperature cultures?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm completely new to microbiology, biochemistry is not a strong suit for me.

Thanks, everyone.

Nick

更新:

Thanks, but I'm also looking for more depth to it. How would I keep it growing if I were to remove it from a growth medium? I know it will grow in sheep's blood, a Heart Infusion medium, and a Luria broth. What exactly are these, and once separated from these growth medium, is it possible that they would continue growth (i.e. not go dormant) when coupled with antibodies?

    E. coli grows optimally at 37 C. It is a facultative anaerobe, and so shaking will promote faster growth. At lower temperature, it will grow slower.
