Ecology- and genome-based identification of the Bifidobacterium adolescentis prototype of the healthy human gut microbiota

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Bifidobacteria are among the first microbial colonizers of the human gut, being frequently associated with human health-promoting activities. In the current study, an in silico methodology based on an ecological and phylogenomic-driven approach allowed the selection of a Bifidobacterium adolescentis prototype strain, i.e., B. adolescentis PRL2023, which best represents the overall genetic content and...
