Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus.

On the 12th day of the experiment, they sequenced the genomes of all the bacteria to determine if the invader had established itself in the ecosystem. In each community, the researchers also ...

Bacteria can also break down nitrite to produce nitric oxide, which improves circulation, including blood flow to the brain.

It is also one of the first to compare the composition and diversity in subsurface ecosystems below the land and ocean. Subsurface samples of bacteria and archaea (many of which could only be ...
