A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique ...

Their results revealed that it has some morphological differences from other cable bacteria, as well as genetic similarities to both genera. Among the most important findings were the pronounced ...

is a single bacterial cell. “Realizing that a filamentous bacteria of that size is actually just a single bacterium was an aha moment,” says Jean-Marie Volland, a marine biologist at the ...

Gros first thought that the filament belonged to a eukaryote. This was the obvious conclusion – bacteria and eukaryota are two distinct domains of life. While eukaryotes, which sequester their genetic ...
