Transporter proteins as ecological assets and features of microbial eukaryotic pangenomes
Here we review two connected themes in evolutionary microbiology: (a) the nature of gene repertoire variation within species groups (pangenomes) and (b) the concept of metabolite transporters as accessory proteins capable of providing niche-defining “bolt-on” phenotypes. We discuss the need for impr...
