Azospirillum genomes reveal transition of bacteria from aquatic to terrestrial environments.

Azospirillum genomes reveal transition of bacteria from aquatic to terrestrial environments.

Fossil records indicate that life appeared in marine environments ∼3.5 billion years ago (Gyr) and transitioned to terrestrial ecosystems nearly 2.5 Gyr. Sequence analysis suggests that "hydrobacteria" and "terrabacteria" might have diverged as early as 3 Gyr. Bacteria of the gen...
