Abstract:Many works have been performed to characterize the genomic evolution and diversity among type species of the Bifidobacterium genus due to its health-promoting effect on their host. However, those studies were mainly based on species-level taxonomic resolution, adaptation, and characterization of carbohydrate metabolic features of the bifidobacterial species. Here, a comprehensive analysis of the type strain genome unveils the association of pan-genome evolution with the divergence of metabolic function of the … Show more
