The more than 100 bacterial species of the genus Vibrio are important in marine ecosystems because they contribute to the ...

The final-year project carried out by Alexandra García Flórez in the Department of Immunology, Microbiology and Parasitology ...

A new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals that the diversity of nonribosomal peptides, a class of compounds ...

Evolutionary changes in a key protein synthesis enzyme, isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS), may help bacteria fine-tune how ...

Some bacteria evolve like clockwork with the seasons, researchers report. The researchers found that through the course of a year, most individual species of bacteria in Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota ...

Bacteria are the most diverse organisms on Earth, with a number of species that’s difficult to quantify. They’re also incredibly old. Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are ...

Unlike most bacteria, Caulobacterales bacteria divide asymmetrically when they reproduce, which creates two cells that look different from each other (top part of the illustration). However, the ...

Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis. University ...

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.

Lines of bacterial genome sequences are made to evolve independently by introducing high-activity insertion sequences, each simulating decades of evolution in the wild in just weeks. The genome ...

A genomic survey of 82 assemblies from giant sulfur bacteria finds that symbiotic lineages carry more antimicrobial ...
