Abstract
Life is thought to have evolved in the ocean before expanding to terrestrial habitats.
It is no wonder then that marine bacteria share genes, physiology, functional pathways,
and regulatory mechanisms with their terrestrial cousins. These pathways and processes
represent deeply rooted, conserved strategies that have evolved over billions of years
and adapted to new habitats as the Earth and its increasingly diverse host species
changed over time.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bacteriology (JB) publishes research articles that probe fundamental processes in bacteria, archaea and their viruses, and the molecular mechanisms by which they interact with each other and with their hosts and their environments.
