Bioinformatics and microbial taxonomy experts introduce the challenges of defining bacterial species in an era of rapidly ...

Microbial communities growing under extreme low redox conditions are present in anoxic and sulfide-rich (euxinic) environments such as karstic lakes and experience limitation of electron acceptors.

An international team of researchers have found a new way to interpret the evolution of bacteria. The findings, published in the journal Science today, demonstrate how integrating vertical descent and ...

As eukaryotic cells started to form, eukaryotic traits may have emerged in early cells about one billion years before the ...

Phylogenetic analysis explores the evolutionary relationships between organisms and is a vital foundation for microbial studies. The development of reliable phylogenetic trees is an important step in ...

Variation on bacterial communities living in the phyllosphere as epiphytes and endophytes has been attributed to plant host effects. However, there is contradictory or inconclusive evidence regarding ...

A mouse gut bacteria phylogenetic tree is superimposed over a microphotograph of colonic tissue, showing the abundance of bacteria by the size of the circles. Red circles indicate bacteria that primes ...

Antibiotic resistance is a tough problem—one some biologists worry cannot be solved with a business-as-usual approach to drug development. So researchers led by Gerard D. Wright at McMaster University ...

A mouse gut bacteria phylogenetic tree is superimposed over a microphotograph of small intestine tissue, showing the abundance of bacteria by the size of the circles. Red circles indicate bacteria ...
