Genetic exchange across a species boundary in the archaeal genus ferroplasma.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2007

Eppley John M, Tyson Gene W, Getz Wayne M, Banfield Jillian F

Abstract excerpt

Speciation as the result of barriers to genetic exchange is the foundation for the general biological species concept. However, the relevance of genetic exchange for defining microbial species is uncertain. In fact, the extent to which microbial populations comprise discrete clusters of evolutionarily related organisms is generally unclear. Metagenomic data from an acidophilic microbial community enabled a...
