<i>Bifidobacterium castoris</i> strains isolated from wild mice show evidence of frequent host switching and diverse carbohydrate metabolism potential
2021-06-04
Abstract excerpt
Members of the gut microbiota genus Bifidobacterium are widely distributed human and animal symbionts believed to exert beneficial effects on their hosts. However, in-depth genomic analyses of animal-associated species and strains are somewhat lacking, particularly in wild animal populations. Here, to examine patterns of host specificity and carbohydrate metabolism capacity, we sequenced whole genomes of Bifidob...
