Comparative Genomic and Phylogenomic Analyses Clarify Relationships Within and Between Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis: Proposal for the Recognition of Two Bacillus thuringiensis Genomovars.

abstract：:Lower-termites are one of the best studied symbiotic systems in insects. Their ability to feed on a nitrogen-poor, wood-based diet with help from symbiotic microbes has been under investigation for almost a century. A unique microbial consortium living in the guts of lower termites is essential for wood-feeding. Host ...
