Explaining microbial genomic diversity in light of evolutionary ecology.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 Apr 2014

Cordero Otto X, Polz Martin F

Abstract excerpt

Comparisons of closely related microorganisms have shown that individual genomes can be highly diverse in terms of gene content. In this Review, we discuss several studies showing that much of this variation is associated with social and ecological interactions, which have an important role in the population biology of wild populations of bacteria and archaea. These interactions create frequency-dependent...
