Host adaptation in gut Firmicutes is associated with sporulation loss and altered colonisation patterns

2020-09-09

Abstract excerpt

Human-to-human transmission of symbiotic, anaerobic bacteria is a fundamental evolutionary adaptation essential for membership of the human gut microbiota. However, despite its importance, the genomic and biological adaptations underpinning symbiont transmission remain poorly understood. Here, we show that sporulation ability, which promotes transmission of anaerobic bacteria, has been independently lost in many d...
