Abstract Lactobacilli are a diverse group of species that occupy nutrient-rich niches associated with humans, animals, plants and food. They used widely in biotechnology food preservation, being explored as therapeutics. Exploiting lactobacilli has been complicated by metabolic diversity, unclear identity uncertain relationships between them other commercially important lactic acid bacteria. The capacity for biotransformations catalysed is an untapped resource. Here we report the genome...

The genetic diversity of Yersinia pestis , the etiologic agent plague, is extremely limited because its recent origin coupled with a slow clock rate. Here we identified 2,326 SNPs from 133 genomes Y. strains that were isolated in China and elsewhere. These define genealogy since most common ancestor. All but 28 these represented mutations happened only once within genealogy, they distributed essentially at random among individual genes. Only seven genes contained significant excess...

As Charles Darwin anticipated, living fossils provide excellent opportunities to study evolutionary questions related extinction, competition, and adaptation. Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.) is one of the oldest plants a fascinating example how people have saved species from extinction assisted its resurgence. By resequencing 545 genomes ginkgo trees sampled 51 populations across world, we identify three refugia in China detect multiple cycles population expansion reduction along with glacial...

Bifidobacteria are well known for their human health-promoting effects and therefore widely applied in the food industry. Members of Bifidobacterium genus were first identified from gastrointestinal tract then found to be distributed across various ecological niches. Although genetic diversity has been determined based on several marker genes or a few genomes, global evolution scenario entire remain unresolved. The present study comparatively analyzed genomes 45 type strains. We built robust...

Abstract Yersinia pestis is transmitted from fleas to rodents when the bacterium develops an extensive biofilm in foregut of a flea, starving it into feeding frenzy, or, alternatively, during brief period directly after on bacteremic host. These two transmission modes are trade-off regulated by amount produced bacterium. Here investigating 446 global isolated Y. genomes, including 78 newly sequenced isolates sampled over 40 years plague focus China, we provide evidence for strong selection...
