Article Synopsis
- Eubacterium rectale is a common gut bacterium with limited understanding of its diversity and genetics, prompting this study to conduct large-scale genome investigations.
- Researchers analyzed over 6,500 gut metagenomes to reconstruct over 1,300 high-quality genomes of E. rectale, revealing a new African subspecies and confirming its absence in closely related non-human primates.
- The study offers insights into the population structure and ecology of E. rectale, emphasizing the value of shotgun metagenomes for microbiota genomics compared to traditional isolate sequencing.
