Bifidobacteria: biogeography, host adaptation and ecological functions.

Mucin O-glycan degradation by GH101 underpins mucosal persistence of Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010

A mechanistic link between metabolic specialization and ecological fitness is established, providing insights into how mucin-adapted commensals may contribute to interactions with the human gut mucosa, and a mechanistic connection between mucin glycan metabolism and ecological fitness by mucin-adapted bifidobacterial c...

Genome-scale insights into the metabolic landscape and evolutionary development of Bifidobacterium bifidum

This study reconstructed the first comprehensive pangenome of B. bifidum using 1,351 high-quality genomes, including metagenome-assembled genomes to identify species-specific genetic and functional features and identified significant gain-of-function events.
