Bacterial culture was the first method used to describe the human microbiota, but this
method is considered outdated by many researchers. Metagenomics studies have since …

For more than 100 years it was believed that bacteria were the only group responsible for
the oxidation of ammonia. However, recently, a new strain of archaea bearing a putative …

Methanation of propionate requires syntrophic interaction of propionate-oxidizing bacteria
and hydrogenotrophic methanogens, which is referred to as interspecies electron transfer …

Traditionally recognized as environmental bacteria, Planctomycetes have just been linked
recently to human pathology as opportunistic pathogens, arousing a great interest for clinical …
