Abstract

Currently, little information exists on the genetics of the B. pseudolongum taxon due to the limited number of sequenced genomes belonging to this species. In order to survey genome variability within this species and explore how members of this taxon evolved as commensals of the animal gut, we isolated and decoded the genomes of 51 newly isolated strains. Comparative genomics coupled with growth profiles on different carbohydrates has further provided insights concerning the genotype and phenotype of members of the B. pseudolongum taxon.
