A phylogenomic view of ecological specialization in the Lachnospiraceae, a family of digestive tract-associated bacteria

2013-12-23

Abstract excerpt

Several bacterial families are known to be highly abundant within the human microbiome, but their ecological roles and evolutionary histories have yet to be investigated in depth. One such family, Lachnospiraceae (phylum Firmicutes, class Clostridia) is abundant in the digestive tracts of many mammals and relatively rare elsewhere. Members of this family have been linked to obesity and protection from colon cancer...
