Decoding Conversations Between Microbes Of Hypersaline Environments Reveals Insights Into Origins Of Complex Life
Single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, have developed many ways to communicate with each other. For example, they might use tiny so-called extracellular vesicles (EVs) – membrane-enveloped packages smaller […]
