Bugs may have deep-sea ancestors


Recommended Posts

Some of the nastiest bacteria that thrive in the human gut and make us sick may have evolved from hardy ancestors living deep under the sea, a group of Japanese scientists found.

 

Writing in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists said they had analysed the genetic sequences of two well-known disease-causing gut bugs and compared them to two closely related but harmless bacteria found deep on the ocean bed.
