Most life on Earth can be broadly split into oxygen consumers and oxygen producers.

There was barely any oxygen in the air for the first 2 billion years of Earth's history and though some microbes were photosynthesizing by the latter part of this period, accumulation of oxygen had not reached levels that would impact the global biosphere.

The matter released by marine microbes and minerals allowed the Great Oxidation Event to take place.

Among the unknown worlds in the universe, we can count our very own bodies. Like planet earth, each of us is made up of fascinating landscapes that are home to all kinds of wildlife.

Experts say the discovery is not reason for panic, but underscores the importance of monitoring wildlife for diseases that could infect humans

Its porous structure provides the ideal physical environment for different kinds of bacteria to thrive, according to new research

When aquatic plants first transitioned onto land, their success may have been due to genes they got from bacteria and fungi that let them take up nutrients from soil

The new study claims that a chemical compound produced by gut bacteria is responsible. Gut bacteria or gut microbes are said to be responsible for awakening dormant and so-called "zombie" viruses inside the human body, as per a new study.

Gut bacteria were used to predict the onset of type 2 diabetes using microbial signatures during a follow-up study in Finland.
