Bacteria Reveal Secret Of Adaptation At Evolution Canyon

Published on Wednesday, 30 July 2008 14:00 from ScienceDaily

Bacteria living on opposite sides of a canyon have evolved to cope with different temperatures by altering the make-up of their 'skin,' or cell membranes. Scientists have found that bacteria change these complex and important structures to adapt to different temperatures by looking at the appearance of the bacteria as well as their genes. The researchers hope their study, published in the August issue of Microbiology, will start a new trend in research.
