Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

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.

C. diff, a dangerous and highly contagious infection, spreads in hospitals much more than previously believed, especially ...

which allow bacterial cells to grow and reproduce. Current theories of bacterial growth physiology often lack mechanistic detail. Here, Droghetti et al. present a theoretical framework that ...
