The paper identifies an ANI gap within bacterial species, proposing a more precise definition for intra-species diversity units.

The paper estimates the number of strains in a natural bacterial population using genomic and metagenomic data, finding up to 5,500 to 11,000 genomovars in one pond.

This study identifies sewage-specific bacterial genomes from wastewater treatment plants and shows their utility in tracking sewage contamination in waterbodies.

This study compares survival strategies of environmental and enteric E. faecalis isolates under freshwater conditions, finding similar decay rates but distinct rRNA:rDNA ratios and limited evidence of habitat adaptation.

The paper characterizes microbial communities in creek sediments from an agricultural region using metagenomics, finding low public health risk and high antibiotic resistance gene levels.
