Max Planck scientists in Marburg have used a synthetic microbial community to study the gradual evolution of mutualism. The study demonstrates for the first time in detail how an evolutionary loss of ...

The results suggest the feasibility of reproducing natural ecosystems and identifying laws of evolution and ecology through controlled experiments, using bacterial growth as an indicator. This study ...

Recent research showed that an artificially constructed RNA self-replicating system modeling primitive life at the origin of life evolved to become more prone to extinction under certain experimental ...
