Bacterial taxonomy and phylogenetics lie at the heart of our understanding of microbial diversity and evolution. Recent advances in whole‐genome sequencing and computational phylogenomic methods have ...

In a recent study published in BMC Microbiology, researchers developed the Novel Organism Verification and Analysis (NOVA) algorithm to systematically analyze bacterial isolates unidentified using ...

The identification, sorting and export of single bacterial cells rather than just populations of them has long been incredibly complex, expensive and often just does not work without damaging the ...

They have identified many new species of bacteria, some of which are significant for clinical practice. Bacterial infections can be treated more efficiently if the cause of the disease is known. In ...
