Archeomicrobiology applied to environmental samples

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2020
The study of ancient microorganisms represents one of the main ways to understand how microbes have evolved to date, especially those associated with humans or ecosystems of interest. However, these studies are always tedious because the viability of the microbes is difficult to maintain and the degradation of their DNA, can make their detection ...
