Robust colonization lifestyle is found in genetically distant bacteria. The SynCom is comprised of 17 community-based isolates harboring 26 strains that span 16 different genera. Calculation of whole-genome identity between pairs of genomes revealed no correlation between robust colonization lifestyle and genome relatedness. Distance and relatedness of bacterial genomes were calculated based on whole-genome average nucleotide identity (gANI) between each pair of genomes.
