Phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns in microbial carotenoid biosynthesis are revealed by comparative genomics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Carotenoids are multifunctional, taxonomically widespread and biotechnologically important pigments. Their biosynthesis serves as a model system for understanding the evolution of secondary metabolism.

Redefining the Taxonomic Boundaries of Genus Xanthomonas
Taxonomy, 2023 The genus Xanthomonas primarily comprises phytopathogenic species. By carrying out deep phylo-taxonogenomics, we recently reported that the genera Xylella, Stenotrophomonas, and Pseudoxanthomonas are misclassified and belong to the genus Xanthomonas ...

Genomic data resource of type strains of genus Pseudoxanthomonas
Data in Brief, 2022 Genus Pseudoxanthomonas represents a relatively newly characterized group of gamma-proteobacterium of environmental origin. Species of the genus have very similar morphology to strains belonging to Xanthomonas, Xylella and Stenotrophomonas.

Evolution of genome fragility enables microbial division of labor [PDF]
Molecular Systems Biology, 2021 Abstract Division of labor can evolve when social groups benefit from the functional specialization of its members. Recently, a novel means of coordinating division of labor was found in the antibiotic-producing bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor , where functionally specialized ...

Microsatellites in Pursuit of Microbial Genome Evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Microsatellites or short sequence repeats are widespread genetic markers which are hypermutable 1-6 bp long short nucleotide motifs. Significantly, their applications in genetics are extensive due to their ceaseless mutational degree, widespread length variations and hypermutability skills.

Microbial genomic trait evolution is dominated by frequent and rare pulsed evolution [PDF]
Science Advances, 2021 Abstract On the macroevolutionary timescale, does trait evolution proceed gradually or by rapid bursts (pulses) separated by prolonged periods of stasis or slow evolution? Although studies have shown pulsed evolution is prevalent in animals, our knowledge about the tempo and mode of evolution across the tree of life is very limited ...
