Comparative genome analysis of Megasphaera sp. reveals niche specialization and its potential role in the human gut.

With increasing number of novel bacteria being isolated from the human gut ecosystem, there is a greater need to study their role in the gut ecosystem and their effect on the host health. In the present study, we carried out in silico genome-wide analysis of two novel Megasphaera sp. isolates NM10 (...
