Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microbial diversity and community structures in acidic hot springs have been characterized by 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys. However, our understanding regarding the interactions among microbes, or between microbes and environmental factors, remains limited. RESULTS: In the present study, a metagenomic approach, followed by bioinformatics analyses, were used to predict interactions within the...
