Ultra-Small, Parasitic Bacteria Found in Incredibly Diverse Environments – Technology Networks
Researchers have discovered that Sacchraribacteria have adapted to incredibly diverse environments without radically changing their genomes.
Inside your mouth right now, there is a group of bacteria whose closest relatives can also be found in the belly of a moose, in dogs, cats, and dolphins, and in groundwater deep under the Earths surface. In a stunning discovery, scientists have found that these organisms have adapted to these incredibly diverse environments without radically changing their genomes.The organisms are members of the TM7, or Sacchraribacteria, phylum. These are ultra-small, parasitic bacteria with small genomes that…
