Free-living psychrophilic bacteria of the genus Psychrobacter are descendents of pathobionts

D. K. Welter, A. Ruaud, Z. M. Henseler, H. N. De Jong, P. van Coeverden de Groot, J. Michaux, L. Gormezano, J. L. Waters, N. D. Youngblut, R. E. Ley

This study shows Psychrobacter evolved from warm-adapted pathobionts, with some losing the ability to grow at 37°C and adapting to cold environments.

Reclassification of Catabacter hongkongensis as Christensenella hongkongensis comb.nov. based on whole genome analysis

X. Liu, J. L. Sutter, J. de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, J. L. Waters, N. D. Youngblut, R. E. Ley

The paper reclassifies Catabacter hongkongensis into the genus Christensenella based on whole-genome analysis showing it belongs to the Christensenella clade.

Syntrophy via interspecies H2 transfer between Christensenella and Methanobrevibacter underlies their global co-occurrence in the human gut

A. Ruaud, S. Esquivel-Elizondo, J. de la Cuesta-Zuluaga, J. L. Waters, L. T. Angenent, N. D. Youngblut, R. E. Ley

The paper shows that Christensenella and Methanobrevibacter species co-occur in the human gut due to interspecies H2 transfer, supporting a lean BMI association through metabolic interactions.
