The new bacterium species, Variovorax durovernensis, on chocolate and 5 percent sheep’s blood agar in petri dish. The researchers in London in the U.K. believe that it likely jumped over from sheep.

The species’s nonconformity is puzzling, even to researchers who’ve seen bacteria of all forms and functions. A prokaryotic cell exhibiting eukaryotic traits questions long-held classification ...

What’s in a name? A lot, actually. For the scientific community, names and labels help organize the world’s organisms so they can be identified, studied, and regulated. But for bacteria, there has ...
