Evolutionary history and microbial cross-feeding shape lifestyle-stratified dominance of <i>Bifidobacterium longum</i> subspecies in infants

2026-07-13

Abstract excerpt

Bifidobacterium longum ( Bl .) is a key early-life gut symbiont, yet its evolutionary origin and mechanisms underlying the global biogeographic distribution of its subspecies remain poorly resolved. Here, we compiled a global genomic atlas of >7,000 MAGs/genomes from infants, domesticated animals, non-human primates, and ancient humans. High-resolution phylogenomic and functional analyses expanded infant-associat...
