Researchers sequenced the genomes of five unique bacteria isolated from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico.
Genome analysis shows that each bacteria belongs to a different genus, highlighting biodiversity in this environment.
Two of the isolates have the genetic potential to produce acyl-homoserine lactone, a compound important for bacterial communication.

Genomic resources remain scarce for bacteria isolated from oligotrophic caves. We sequenced the genomes of five isolated from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico. Genome-based phylogeny indicates that each strain belongs to a distinct genus. Two isolates possess genomic potential for the biosynthesis of acyl-homoserine lactone.
