Dr. Paul De Vos who gave me the opportunity to carry out the PhD in the Laboratory of Microbiology. Your guidance, thoughtful insights and support were very important at every stage of my work. I am thankful that I could count on you, especially during the last few, very intensive months of my PhD. Your encouragement, advices and suggestions were invaluable for completing this work. I am grateful to the examination committee for their helpful suggestions, constructive remarks and fruitful discussions that helped me to improve my thesis. Prof. Dr. Martine Maes, thank you for your advice and comments on my publications and thesis. Dr. Peter Bonants, Prof. dr. Monica Höfte, Ir. Johan Van Vaerenbergh and dr. Pieter Stragier, thank you very much for taking your time to read my PhD and for your positive feedback. Kim, although you supervised me only at the beginning it was the most important time for me and I am thankful that I could work with you. Your wide knowledge and scientific input greatly influenced my first steps in the exciting scientific world. Writing the first article is never easy but with your guidance and support it was one of the most important and unforgettable experiences for me. I am grateful not only for your great scientific supervision and what you taught me during these four years but also for being a great colleague! Dear Johan, I would like to thank you very, very much for these four years. It was a great experience to work with you. I am grateful for showing me the real diagnostic lab, for all our discussions and for a wonderful time in ILVO. My dearest colleagues, Sven, Ines, Jonas and Bram, I spent with you the best time in the lab. You were the best company I could imagine to have during my PhD. Our coffee breaks discussions, Friday lunches, common conferences, meetings and practical exercises, I could not think of anyone better to share these great moments with. Sven, our philosopher and discussion man, thanks for all our chats and laughs and for being a super friend. Jonas, our potato/dj man, the most optimistic person I know, it was great to have someone so positive in the office. Ines, my best desk mate, thanks for your help at the beginning, for all the translations from Dutch, your support and the great moments we had together. Bram, the youngest in our team, hopping around, never tired and always full of ideas. Thanks for all the fun we had in the PDV group. Margo, you are an amazing person who has so much positive energy and who is always ready to help others. I will never forget your support and help, especially at the beginning of my adventure in LM-UGent and during my Erasmus exchange. Thank you for everything! Bart, Liesbeth, Joke, Evie, thanks for always answering my questions and for assistance in performing experiments in the lab. I would like to thank all colleagues from the Laboratory of Microbiology and from ILVO for creating a friendly atmosphere and for your enthusiastic support. It was a pleasure to work in such a nice environment. v I cannot forget my best friend Kamila who shared with me good and bad moments, who always was there when I needed her. Without you I would never be where I am now. I still remember our first days in Ghent when we started together. New places, new people, new challenges and even though it was tough we did it! Dzięki za wszystko moja najlepsza koleżanko! My friends, Kasie, Agi, Asie, Anie, Radek, Agata, Mati, Linda, Giacomo, Edyta, Marta, Lidka and many others I have always a wonderful time with you. Our parties, Friday drinks and chats are unforgettable moments. I am happy I met such great people! Moi Rodzice, Aga i Paweł, dziękuję Wam za dodawanie mi otuchy i wiarę we mnie. Dziękuję za to, że zawsze ciepło mnie witaliście kiedy wracałam do rodzinnego domu. Mamo, tato, wiem, że przyjazd do Belgii to dla Was duże przeżycie, tym bardziej dziękuję za to, że sie zdecydowaliście. Ik wil graag de familie van Stan bedanken, vooral Annick en Filip, ik heb veel steun van jullie gekregen. Jullie hebben me heel warm ontvangen. Ik dank jullie hartelijk voor jullie gastvrijheid, interesse en vriendschap. Stan, moje Kochanie, I want to thank you for your support, understanding and for being there for me. I am really happy that I met you that evening at Brahim’s. You always believed in me and tried to encourage me during hard times. Dziękuję for all the wonderful days we had, all the great moments we have now and I am looking forward to the future with you! Merci! Bedankt! Dziękuję!

    Adaptive differentiation and rapid evolution of a soil bacterium along a climate gradient Alexander B. Chasea,b,1, Claudia Weihea, and Jennifer B. H. Martinya aDepartment of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697; and bCenter for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, CA 92093 Edited by James M. Tiedje, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, and approved March 30, 2021 (received for review January 29, 2021) Microbial community responses to environmental change are largely shifts are due to adaptive differentiation among taxa as a result associated with ecological processes; however, the potential for of past evolutionary divergence. Concurrently, the same selective microbes to rapidly evolve and adapt remains relatively unexplored forces can also shift the abundance of conspecific strains and in natural environments. To assess how ecological and evolutionary alter the allele frequencies of preexisting genetic variation, which processes simultaneously alter the genetic diversity of a microbiome, at this genetic scale is defined as an evolutionary process (14). we conducted two concurrent experiments in the leaf litter layer of Finally, evolution through de novo mutation can provide a new soil over 18 mo across a climate gradient in Southern California.

Originality-Significance Statement Microbial community analyses typically rely on delineating operational taxonomic units; however, a great deal of genomic and phenotypic diversity occurs within these taxonomic groupings. Previous work in closely-related marine bacteria demonstrates that fine-scale genetic variation is linked to variation in ecological niches. In this study, we present similar evidence for soil bacteria. We find that an abundant and widespread soil taxon encompasses distinct ecological populations, or ecotypes, as defined by their phenotypic traits. We further validated that differences in these soil ecotypes correspond to variation in their distribution across a regional climate gradient. Thus, there exists genomic and phenotypic diversity within this soil taxon that contributes to niche differentiation.

(I. T. Riley and K. M. Ophel, Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 42:64-68, 1992). The properties of members of the genus Ruthuyibacter include coryneform morphology, peptidoglycan based on 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (type B2y), predominant menaquinones of the MK-10 type, and phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol as basic polar lipids. The DNA base compositions range from 63 to 72 mol% G+C. The members of the new genus form a phenetic cluster distinct from Clavibucter spp. at a level
