A new “tree of life” has been constructed by researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech for the gamma-proteobacteria, a large group of medically and scientifically ...

Scientists have found further evidence to support the idea that the primary two domains of life, the Archaea and Bacteria, are separated by a long phylogenetic tree branch and therefore distantly ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 small intestine tissue, showing the abundance of bacteria by the size of the circles. Red circles indicate bacteria ...
