The metabolic network of the last bacterial common ancestor

Joana C. Xavier, Rebecca E. Gerhards and colleagues reconstruct the habitat and lifestyle of the last bacterial common ancestor (LBCA) through the construction of the metabolic network and gene tree analysis of 146 LCBA protein families. Their analyses indicate that the LBCA was rod-shaped, and that...
