New Georgia Tech research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination.

However, new findings from Konstantinidis and his team suggest otherwise, positing that bacteria not only form species but also maintain cohesion within these species through mechanisms that closely ...

In short, while bacteria may not have “sex lives” in the way humans do, their frequent DNA exchanges play a crucial role in ...

When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes — like plants and animals — are organized into species, he upended a ...

Researchers from University of Queensland have discovered that corals need to be within 10 meters of each other to reproduce ...

The film explains the process of plant reproduction, covering both asexual and sexual methods. Asexual reproduction is demonstrated through simple organisms like algae, where cell division leads to ...
