Multilayer analysis reveals extensive hidden population complexity in a dairy starter microbiome comprising few species
The genomic and epigenomic complexity of microbiomes with low species richness remains poorly characterized. Here, we integrated 111 non-redundant isolate genomes with deep long-read metagenomics to investigate an undefined mesophilic dairy starter. Closely related isolates harboured distinct combinations of features a...
