Giant extrachromosomal element "Inocle" potentially expands the adaptive capacity of the human oral microbiome
2024-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Survival strategy of bacteria is expanded by extrachromosomal elements (ECEs). However, their genetic diversity and functional roles for adaptability are largely unknown. Here, we discovered a novel family of intracellular ECEs using 56 saliva samples by developing an efficient microbial DNA extraction method coupled with long-read metagenomics assembly. Even though this ECE family was not hitherto unidentified, o...
