The image shows the ‘phylogenetic tree’ of a group of genes called Amt, found in SAR11 bacteria. Different versions of these genes, which may influence how the bacteria take up and process ...

Phyllosphere bacterial diversity is shaped through interactions between hosts and microbes. Most studies having focused on pairwise associations between host taxa and their symbionts, little is yet ...

As a result, the genome provides information on phylogenetic history. But bacteria are masters in another form of gene transfer, namely lateral gene transfer (LGT).

Phylogenies show how organisms are related to each other by placing them in an ordered map of them and their relatives. These can be done on a large scale, such as the tree of life, or on a ...

The team built a phylogenetic tree of gene clusters that code for glycopeptide antibiotics and then looked for self-­resistance genes, which help bacteria protect themselves from the antibiotics ...

Phylogenetic tree linking all major groups of living organisms, namely the Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, as proposed by Woese et al 1990, with the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) shown at ...

Caption A mouse gut bacteria phylogenetic tree is superimposed over a microphotograph of colonic tissue, showing the abundance of bacteria by the size of the circles. Red circles indicate bacteria ...
