Advances in omics technologies allow for holistic studies into biological systems. These
studies rely on integrative data analysis techniques to obtain a comprehensive view of the …

In the Life Sciences ‘omics’ data is increasingly generated by different high-throughput
technologies. Often only the integration of these data allows uncovering biological insights that …

There is an increasing availability of complete or draft genome sequences for microbial
organisms. These data form a potentially valuable resource for genotype–phenotype association …

… A cut-off value 5.5 was used to assign presence or absence of every gene from the
proteolytic system in query strains, as described by Bayjanov et al. [14]. In most cases, a gene is …

The ability of bacteria to adapt to diverse environmental conditions is well‐known. The process
of bacterial adaptation to a niche has been linked to large changes in the genome content…

Effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been proposed to act as point
sources of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the …

Background The gut microbiota is a reservoir of opportunistic pathogens that can cause life-threatening
infections in critically ill patients during their stay in an intensive care unit (ICU). …

Lactococcus lactis produces lactic acid and is widely used in the manufacturing of various
fermented dairy products. However, the species is also frequently isolated from non‐dairy …

The microbiota of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract is a complex ecosystem of bacterial
communities that continuously interact with the mucosal immune system. In a healthy host, …

In this study we tested 39 Lactococcus lactis strains isolated from diverse habitats for their
robustness under heat and oxidative stress, demonstrating high diversity in survival (up to 4 …
