Comparative pangenomics unveils distinct host adaptation trends and conserved biosynthetic potential in microbiome Clostridia.

To thrive in diverse ecological niches, bacteria adopt various lifestyles that range from living freely in the soil to forming close associations with human and animal hosts. However, the impact of these adaptation processes on their genomes and metabolisms remains largely unexplored beyond the genus level. Investigati...
