Microbial species exist and are maintained by ecological cohesiveness coupled to high homologous recombination

2024-05-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Recent analyses of metagenomes and genomes have revealed that microbial communities are predominantly composed of persistent, sequence-discrete species and intraspecies units (genomovars). To advance the species concept the underlying genetic or ecological mechanisms that maintain these discrete units need to be elucidated. By analyzing closely related isolate genomes from the same or related sa...
