Without the need to cultivate specific strains, metagenomics has emerged as a popular technique for studying microbial communities. Furthermore, the 16 S ribosomal RNA (16 S rRNA) gene is a useful ...
Temperature and nutrients are known as crucial drivers for the variations of bacterial community structure and functions in oceans and lakes. However, their significance and mechanisms in influencing ...
Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections linked to antibiotic resistance. The King's College London team behind the ...
It’s easy to see why horizontal gene transfer would be common among microbes. They often live in complex communities that are ...
A growing body of research has shown that bacteria are not only present in the gut and respiratory tract, but can also exist inside primary and metastatic tumors. These tumor associated bacteria are ...
