The hypervariable genomic regions derived from 35 published
C
Las genomes were used to decipher the genetic diversity of
C
Las strains and identify 10 new strains with high variations in prophage regions. Characterizing these variations in the
C
Las bacteria might provide insight into their evolution and adaptation to host plants and insects in China.
Methanogens are important hydrogen consumers in the gut and are associated with differing host health. Here, we determine the prevalence and abundance of archaeal species in the guts of a multi-ethnic cohort of healthy Singapore residents.
