Comparative genomics reveals the high diversity and adaptation strategies of Polaromonas from polar environments
The global distribution of the genus Polaromonas highlights its strong adaptability in both polar and nonpolar environments. Species delineation significantly expands our understanding of the diversity of the Polaromonas genus on a global scale. In this study, a polar-specific clade was found, which may represent a specific ecotype well adapted to polar environments. Collectively, genomic insight into the metabolic diversity, evolution and adaptation of the genus Polaromonas at the genome level provides a genetic basis for understanding the potential response mechanisms of Polaromonas to global warming in polar regions.
