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

A study by Georgia Tech researchers finds that bacteria maintain species cohesion through homologous recombination, a form of frequent and random DNA exchange. This process keeps microbial species ...

In short, while bacteria may not have “sex lives” in the way humans do, their frequent DNA exchanges play a crucial role in keeping their species distinct and thriving. This discovery opens up ...

"This may be fundamentally different from sexual reproduction in animals, plants, fungi, and non-bacterial organisms, where DNA is exchanged during meiosis, but the outcome in terms of species ...

Bacterial immune evasion is the process by which bacteria avoid and antagonize the bacterial host response, which is mediated by the host's immune system.

The researchers utilize a natural process called bacterial conjugation, where bacteria exchange genetic material during reproduction. This allows them to introduce a new trait into the target bacteria ...
