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: A number of genes that are conserved in, and unique to, V. cholerae are identified; some of these genes may be crucial to the niche adaptation of this species.
Bacterial endophytes: Molecular interactions with their hosts
TL;DR: More than 400 genes in both the genomes of host plant and bacterial endophyte are up- or downregulated for the establishment of endophytism and plant growth-promoting activity.

TL;DR: Analysis of a unique historical pathogen record in the Philippines found evidence of strong selective sweep affecting several populations in the mid-1980s, suggesting a major bottleneck that coincides with the peak of Xa4 deployment in the archipelago.
A Genomic Redefinition of Pseudomonas avellanae species
TL;DR: A genome-wide MLSA of 14 phytopathogenic pseudomonads genomes was performed, and the ANI and TETRA values of 27 genomes were assessed, demonstrating the existence of a well demarcated genomic cluster that includes strains classified as P. avellanae and one representative strain is a genuine member of the P. syringae species complex.
Archaeal Lineages within the Human Microbiome: Absent, Rare or Elusive?
TL;DR: This review highlights pertinent recent findings that show that the choice of appropriate methodological approaches and the consideration of different human populations may lead to the detection of archaeal lineages previously not associated with humans, which in turn will help understand variations found in the overall microbiomes from different individuals and ultimately mayLead to the emergence of novel concepts/mechanisms impacting human health.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.

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.
