Phenotypic Parallelism during Experimental Adaptation of a Free-Living Bacterium to the Zebrafish Gut.

Abstract excerpt

Although animals encounter a plethora of bacterial species throughout their lives, only a subset colonize vertebrate digestive tracts, and these bacteria can profoundly influence the health and development of their animal hosts. However, our understanding of how bacteria initiate symbioses with animal hosts remains underexplored, and this process is central to the assembly and function of gut bacterial...
