Genomic functional architecture predicts ecological adaptation across a highly diverse bacterial phylum

2025-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of ecological adaptation is a fundamental challenge of evolutionary biology. Spirochaetes are an ancient bacterial phylum of exceptional ecological breadth, encompassing major human pathogens such as the causative agents of syphilis, Lyme disease, and leptospirosis, alongside free-living species from contrasting environments and recently described species that lack the canonical spi...
