Polyphasic discrimination of Shewanella seohaensis from closely related species and a whole-genome multilocus (wgMLST) scheme for the evaluation of diversity within this Shewanella clade

Maria O. Firmino, Mykyta Forofontov, Ricardo Soares…·Catarina M. Paquete

This paper develops a whole-genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST) scheme to accurately discriminate Shewanella seohaensis from closely related species and assess their diversity.

The modular evolution of multiheme cytochromes c bucks the general trend observed in proteins

Ricardo Soares, Catarina M. Paquete, Ricardo O. Louro

This study shows that multiheme cytochromes c evolve through modular grafting and pruning, with heme addition and loss occurring via specific peptide integration and mutation patterns.
