Abstract excerpt
The link between guanine-cytosine (GC) content and thermal adaptation is controversial. Here, we compared maximum growth temperature (TMGT ) and genomics of 78 Cryobacterium strains to avoid unreliable conclusions resulting from distantly phylogenetic groups. Phylogenomic analysis revealed this taxon had much higher diversification than we knew. Interestingly, these strains showed thermotolerance divergence with...
