Crucially for evolutionary studies, the isolates have different colony morphologies so can be re-isolated to look at evolutionary and phenotypic changes which is neat. They vary in their species interactions and we have high quality reference genomes for each species.

As ever, all code is available here: github.com/padpadpadpad..., the paper is open access with the excellent society owned journal Microbiology, and the data availability statement for this one is LONG reference genomes are on ncbi and isolates are in a culture collection!
