Indeed, the inability to use citrate is one of the traits by which bacteriologists distinguish E. coli from other species.

You are mixing up words with phenomenas, aren't you?

(This doesn't mean that I think that this is a prove of evolution. I'm not sure whether a theory needs a prove, its task is to give a simplified model of reality, not a copy of reality, which helps to organize and sort scientific observations, and helps actions of the society and gives predictable results within certain constrains. And therefor evolution does a great job.)
