Distribution of C30 carotenoid biosynthesis genes suggests habitat adaptation function in insect-adapted and nomadic Lactobacillaceae by Tom Eilers, Marie Legein, Jari Temmermans, Jelle Dillen, Ine Vandendriessche, Koen Sandra, Peter A. Bron, Stijn Wittouck, Sarah Lebeer

“…The phenotype was confirmed in 87% of the predicted crtMN gene carriers (27/31). Nomadic and insect-adapted species, particularly those isolated from vegetable fermentations, e.g., Lactiplantibacillus, and floral habitats, e.g., Fructilactobacillus, contained crtMN genes, while vertebrate-associated species, including vaginal associated species, lacked this trait. …”
