Computational improvements reveal great bacterial diversity and high metal toxicity in soil.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 26 Aug 2005

Gans Jason, Wolinsky Murray, Dunbar John

Abstract excerpt

The complexity of soil bacterial communities has thus far confounded effective measurement. However, with improved analytical methods, we show that the abundance distribution and total diversity can be deciphered. Reanalysis of reassociation kinetics for bacterial community DNA from pristine and metal-polluted soils showed that a power law best described the abundance distributions. More than one million distinct...
