In biology, “species” is the basic unit for description and research of different organisms. However, many named species as defined in current bacterial taxonomy correspond to species complexes, in which the species boundaries and relationships among species are uncertain. Such uncertainties not only hamper research, but can also impact the identification of pathogens or even policy-making for quarantine regulations. To solve this challenge, an international team led by Chih-Horng Kuo in the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology (Academia Sinica, Taiwan) utilized the Agrobacterium tumefaciens species complex as the study system and devised strategies for genomic analysis. These bacteria are known for their phytopathogenicity, as well as a critical tool for genetic manipulation in plant sciences and agricultural biotechnology......
