Genomic and phenotypic imprints of microbial domestication on cheese starter cultures

V. Somerville, N. Thierer, R. S. Schmidt, A. Roetschi, L. Braillard, M. Haueter, H. Berthoud, N. Shani, U. von Ah, F. Mazel, P. Engel

This study examines cheese starter cultures to determine if they show signs of microbial domestication, finding low genetic diversity, taxonomic stability, and evidence of genome decay.

Novel misos shape distinct microbial ecologies: opportunities for flavourful sustainable food innovation

C. I. Kothe, C. Caroe, F. Mazel, D. Zilber, P. Cruz-Morales, N. Mohellibi, J. Evans

This study analyzes the microbial ecology of novel miso varieties made from different substrates, finding that substrate and geography strongly influence microbial composition and gene presence.

Testing the phylogenetic gambit: how much functional diversity can we reliably conserve if we prioritize phylogenetic diversity?

F. Mazel, M. Pennell, M. Cadotte, S. Diaz, G. Dalla Riva, R. Grenyer, F. Leprieur, A. Mooers, D. Mouillot, C. Tucker, W. Pearse

The paper tests whether maximizing phylogenetic diversity (PD) reliably captures functional diversity (FD) across 15,000 vertebrate species, finding mixed results with an average 18% FD gain but also cases where PD sets had less FD than random selections.

Conserving Phylogenetic Diversity Can Be A Poor Strategy For Conserving Functional Diversity

F. Mazel, A. Mooers, G. Dalla Riva, M. Pennell

This paper shows that conserving phylogenetically diverse taxa does not reliably maximize functional diversity, challenging the common assumption that phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a proxy for functional diversity (FD).
