    Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583 0919, USA
    ISME J 4:377-87. 2010
    ..These findings provide evidence that some vertebrate gut microbes are not promiscuous, but have diversified into host-adapted lineages by a long-term evolutionary process, allowing the development of a highly specialized symbiosis...
  3. ncbi The evolution of host specialization in the vertebrate gut symbiont Lactobacillus reuteri
    Steven A Frese
    Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, United States of America
    PLoS Genet 7:e1001314. 2011
    ..In conclusion, this study provided experimental evidence and a molecular basis for the evolution of host specificity in a vertebrate gut symbiont, and it identified genomic events that have shaped this process...
