Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of the lactic acid bacteria

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses, comparison of gene content across the group, and reconstruction of ancestral gene sets indicate a combination of extensive gene loss and key gene acquisitions via horizontal gene transfer during the coevolution of lactic acid bacteria with their habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis reveals adaptations for milk utilization within the infant microbiome.

TL;DR: An examination of in vivo metabolism has detected the hallmarks of milk oligosaccharide utilization via the central fermentative pathway using metabolomic and proteomic approaches and conservation of gene clusters in multiple isolates corroborates the genomic mechanism underlying milk utilization for this infant-associated phylotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial biogeography of wine grapes is conditioned by cultivar, vintage, and climate

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that grape-associated microbial biogeography is nonrandomly associated with regional, varietal, and climatic factors across multiscale viticultural zones, posing the existence of nonrandom “microbial terroir” as a determining factor in regional variation among wine grapes.
