Microbial Genetics and Evolution. [PDF]
Although proto-evolutionary ideas date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, the idea that organisms evolve was not considered a basic element of scientific knowledge until Charles Darwin published his “On the Origin of Species” in 1859 [...]

Consistent Metagenome-Derived Metrics Verify and Delineate Bacterial Species Boundaries
Longstanding questions relate to the existence of naturally distinct bacterial species and genetic approaches to distinguish them. Bacterial genomes in public databases form distinct groups, but these databases are subject to isolation and deposition ...

GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF B. japonicum TO TOLERATE ABIOTIC STRESSES VIA PROTOPLAST FUSION [PDF]
Two distinguished Bradyrhizobium japonicum Egyptian strains, i.e. SE8 and DO4, each was fused with the fast growing Rhizobium fredii USDA201 strain. Nine fusants were obtained in the first attempt (USDA 201 and SE8) and four fusants were obtained in the

GENETIC CONSTRUCTION OF BROAD HOST RANGE Bradyrhizobium japonicum [PDF]
Protoplast fusion and conjugation were used to expand the Rhizobium host range. B.japonicum AS25 and R.leguminosarum biovar vicia ICARDA441 were fused and six, genetically stable, fusants were isolated.

Using Cartesian Doubt To Build a Sequencing-Based View of Microbiology
The technological leap of DNA sequencing generated a tension between modern metagenomics and historical microbiology. We are forcibly harmonizing the output of a modern tool with centuries of experimental knowledge derived from culture-based microbiology.

Co-relationship between Escherichia coli in broiler cellulitis and liver lesions [PDF]
Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli may invade the subcutaneous tissue of poultry and cause cellulitis, whilst the pathogen may also cause lesions in internal organs such as the liver.
