Once the work is done, it digests itself from the inside. Fungi are a source of fascination. This kingdom of life -- more closely related to animals than to plants -- encompasses an enormous variety.

A study by Georgia Tech researchers finds that bacteria maintain species cohesion through homologous recombination, a form of ...

When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes — like plants and animals — are organized into species, he upended a long-held scientific belief. Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to ...

Filamentous fungi produce various small molecules known as secondary metabolites (SMs; also called natural products) that are thought to contribute to their survival in environmental niches (Keller, ...
