The microbial pan-genome
1.2K
TL;DR: A decade after the beginning of the genomic era, the question of how genomics can describe a bacterial species has not been fully addressed and the pan-genome, which is composed of a "core genome" containing genes present in all strains, and a "dispensable genome", might be orders of magnitude larger than any single genome.

TL;DR: Five selected strains of Limosilactobacillus mucosae exhibited the ability to survive conditions mimicking passage through the host's digestive tract, such as low pH and the presence of bile salts, and appear to be promising candidates for use as probiotics in pigs.

TL;DR: This study characterizes Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ILSF15, a novel probiotic strain isolated from the gut of Odisha's tribal population, exhibiting acid/bile tolerance, adhesion, cholesterol assimilation, and pathogen exclusion, with potential applications in probiotic and functional food industries.

Metagenomic profiling of host-associated bacteria from 8 datasets of 1 the red alga Porphyra purpurea, with MetaPhlAn 3.0
TL;DR: The microbial-associated diversity of P. purpurea in four different localities is reported through the analysis of eight metagenomic datasets obtained from the publicly available meetagenomic nucleotide database, highlighting the different taxonomical resolution of a 16S rRNA OTU-based method in contrast to the pan-genome approach deployed by MetaPhlAn 3.0.
Comparative pan-genomic analysis of 51 Renibacterium salmoninarum indicates heterogeneity in the principal virulence factor, the 57 kDa protein.
TL;DR: The pan-genome analysis identified differences in the number of copies and length of the signalling peptide for p57, the principal virulence factor reported for this bacterium, and numerous common genes related to iron uptake, the stress response and regulation, and cell signalling constitute the pathogenic repertoire of R. salmoninarum.

TL;DR: The genomic sequence of six strains representing the five major disease-causing serotypes of Streptococcus agalactiae, the main cause of neonatal infection in humans, was generated and Mathematical extrapolation of the data suggests that the gene reservoir available for inclusion in the S. agalactic pan-genome is vast and that unique genes will continue to be identified even after sequencing hundreds of genomes.
