Section-level genome sequencing and comparative genomics of sections and .

The genus is diverse, including species of industrial importance, human pathogens, plant pests, and model organisms. includes species from sections and , which until recently were joined in section , but have now been proposed to be non-monophyletic and were split by section and . To learn more about these sections, we have sequenced the genomes of 13 species from section (, and ), section ( and ), and section (, previously ).

Comparative genomics of and section .

is an important model organism for eukaryotic biology and the reference for the section in comparative studies. In this study, we sequenced the genomes of 25 species of this section. Whole-genome phylogeny of 34 species and clarifies the position of clades inside section .

Genome-Wide Assessment of Stress-Associated Genes in Bifidobacteria.

Over the last decade, the genomes of several strains have been sequenced, delivering valuable insights into their genetic makeup. However, bifidobacterial genomes have not yet been systematically mined for genes associated with stress response functions and their regulation. In this work, a list of 76 genes related to stress response in bifidobacteria was compiled from previous studies.

Machine learning predicts and provides insights into milk acidification rates of Lactococcus lactis.

Lactococcus lactis strains are important components in industrial starter cultures for cheese manufacturing. They have many strain-dependent properties, which affect the final product. Here, we explored the use of machine learning to create systematic, high-throughput screening methods for these properties.
