Microbial Ecology, Vol. 74, No. 1 (July 2017), pp. 89-105 (17 pages) Semi-arid and arid areas occupy about 33% of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little information is available about microbial ...

QUT researchers have recovered the genomes of more than 24,000 previously unknown microbial species—some from entirely new branches of life that likely evolved before plants and animals. The microbes ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego, as part of a large collaboration with scientists around the world, have developed a new search tool to help researchers better understand the ...

Sequencing mammoth DNA has already helped scientists map out how these Ice Age giants evolved, migrated, and survived. But there's a hidden layer of history still waiting to be decoded – the microbes ...

A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...

Researchers have developed a new search tool to that can match microbes to the metabolites they produce with no prior knowledge, an innovation that could transform our understanding of both human ...
