Gene-level analysis of core carbohydrate metabolism across the Enterobacteriaceae pan-genome
Nicolas Näpflin*, Christopher Schubert*, et al. Commun Biol (2025)
- Pan-genome analysis reveals that Enterobacteriaceae share a core metabolic strategy based on monosaccharide-fueled mixed acid fermentation and aerobic respiration, enabling future identification of niche-defining traits in this diverse bacterial family.
