Phosphate-related genomic islands as drivers of environmental adaptation in the streamlined marine alphaproteobacterial HIMB59

ABSTRACTProkaryotic species are composed of multiple clonal lineages coexisting in the same habitat. In recent years, understanding the maintenance of this high intraspecific genetic diversity in asexual microorganisms has been a challenge for microbial ecology. In this study, we investigated the po...
