The genetic factors that allow gut symbiotic bacteria to occupy intestinal niches remain poorly understood.
Lee et al. 2022 Journal of Microbiology 60(2) 215-223
Following the experimental evolution of Aeromonas veronii in gnotobiotic zebrafish, we identify bacterial traits that promote host colonization.
Robinson et al. 2021 Cell Host & Microbe 29:
Intestinal domination has been defined as gut colonization with a predominating bacterial taxon representing at least 30% relative abundance
Several independently developed high-immigration isolates carried mutations in a gene we named proline diguanylate cyclase enzyme (SpdE) sensor, based on st…
