Microbiomes in light of traits: A phylogenetic perspective.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 6 Nov 2015

Martiny Jennifer B H, Jones Stuart E, Lennon Jay T, Martiny Adam C

Abstract excerpt

A focus on the phenotypic characteristics of microorganisms-their traits-offers a path for interpreting the growing amount of microbiome data. We review key aspects of microbial traits, as well as approaches used to assay their phylogenetic distribution. Recent studies reveal that microbial traits are differentially conserved across the tree of life and appear to be conserved in a hierarchical fashion, possibly...
