An evolutionary adaptation that allows one ocean bacteria to thrive could prove to be its Achilles Heel as oceans change, new study reveals.
An evolutionary adaptation that allows one ocean bacteria to thrive could prove to be its Achilles Heel as oceans change, new study reveals.
The symbiosis between two new bacteria strains discovered by USC Dornsife researchers is not creating widespread change in the ocean, but in localized zones fixed nitrogen is depleting faster than expected.
Bacteria in common slime can evolve to become hardier, say biologists Steven Finkel and Alison Kraigsley.
