Phylogenetic relationship of Alviniconcha marisindica holobionts in the Kairei and the Edmond fields We cloned and sequenced partial mitochondrial cytochrome c reductase (mtCOI) genes from individuals of both A. marisindica populations. The sequence of the mtCOI gene of kAlv showed 99.4% sequence identity with that of eAlv, indicating that both populations of A. marisindica taxonomically […] More

Microbial interactions are dependent on diversity and time since inoculation The link between increasing biodiversity and primary productivity is well-established in environmental bacteria, and our results confirmed this relationship in clinical isolates (Fig. 1a) was significant (β48 = 1.49 ± 0.46 log10(colony forming units (cfu) ml−1) species−1, R2 = 0.29, p = 0.003) over time scales encompassing initial growth, but became non-significant (β168 = 0.79 ± 0.39 log10(cfu […] More

Delineation of pangenomes and habitats descriptors The basis of this study is a large collection of pangenomes from a diverse set of prokaryotic species. To establish this collection, we filtered the proGenomes database of annotated prokaryotic genomes [32] to select consistently defined species (see “Methods”, also [31]) for which at least ten high-quality genomes (conspecific […] More
