A Latitudinal Diversity Gradient in Terrestrial Bacteria of the Genus Streptomyces
We show that Streptomyces biogeography in soils across North America is influenced by the regional diversification of microorganisms due to dispersal limitation and genetic drift. Streptomyces spp. form desiccation-resistant spores, which can be dispersed on the wind, allowing for a strong test of w...
