Genomic Analyses of <em>Bifidobacterium moukalabense</em> Reveal Adaptations to Frugivore/Folivore Feeding Behavior

Despite the essential role of <i>Bifidobacterium</i> in health-promoting gut bacteria in humans, little is known about their functions in wild animals, especially non-human primates. It is difficult to determine in vivo the function of Bifidobacterium in wild animals due to the limited a...
