Strains of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis are extensively exploited by the food industry as health-promoting bacteria, although the genetic variability of members belonging to this taxon has so far not received much scientific attention. In this article, we describe the complete genetic makeup of the B. animalis subsp. lactis Bl12 genome and discuss the genetic relatedness of this strain with other sequenced strains belonging to this taxon. Moreover, a detailed comparative genomic analysis of B. animalis subsp. lactis genomes was performed, which revealed a closely related and isogenic nature of all currently available B. animalis subsp. lactis strains, thus strongly suggesting a closed pan-genome structure of this bacterial group.
双歧杆菌亚种。乳杆菌菌株被食品工业广泛开发为具有促进健康作用的细菌,尽管属于该分类群的成员的遗传变异性迄今为止尚未受到太多科学关注。在本文中,我们描述了双歧杆菌亚种。乳杆菌 Bl12 基因组的完整遗传组成,并讨论了该菌株与属于该分类群的其他已测序菌株的遗传相关性。此外,还对双歧杆菌亚种。乳杆菌基因组进行了详细的比较基因组分析,结果表明所有现有的双歧杆菌亚种。乳杆菌菌株具有密切相关的同基因性质,这强烈表明该细菌组具有封闭的泛基因组结构。
