Sex in bacteria is simply the uptake of any genetic material that might eventually be vertically or horizontally transmitted, and now, with the recent availability of complete genome sequences, we have begun to understand its pervasive role in the adaptation and diversification of bacterial lineages.
If bacteria do have genes that have evolved for genetic exchange, then they provide much-needed indepen-dent systems in which to study how sex can evolve.If they do not,then meiotic sex must …
A Berlin nightclub where guests frequently have sex on the dance floor faced a deadly bacteria scare on Saturday. A male patron of the KitKatClub was rushed to the hospital after he was suspected
