Comparative genomics identifies the smallest genome of Faecalibacterium, suggesting new insights into adaptation and requirements.
The genome sequences of two Faecalibacterium strains isolated from a healthy Japanese individual were analyzed. Comparative genomics revealed the smallest genome within the genus to date and identified core gene clusters, providing new insights into the minimal genomic requirements and evolutionary adaptation of Faecalibacterium species.
