The Source and Evolutionary History of a Microbial Contaminant Identified Through Soil Metagenomic Analysis
ABSTRACT In this study, strain-resolved metagenomics was used to solve a mystery. A 6.4-Mbp complete closed genome was recovered from a soil metagenome and found to be astonishingly similar to that of Delftia acidovorans SPH-1, which was isolated in Germany a decade ago. It was suspected that this o...
