Abstract excerpt
Geobacillus stearothermophilus is a thermophilic bacterium widely used in food sterilization and industrial processes. Although it has long been treated as a single, well-defined species, its internal genomic diversity has not been systematically evaluated. Here, we analyzed 36 strains using comparative genomics to clarify the structure of diversity within this species. Phylogenetic analyses consistently revealed...
