Community-level signatures of ecological succession in natural bacterial communities

Community-level signatures of ecological succession in natural bacterial communities

Metagenome approaches can unravel relationships between environment, community composition, and ecological functions. Here, the authors show that bacterial communities sampled from rainwater pools can be clustered into few classes with distinct functional capacities and genetic repertoires, the asse...
