Trait-based approach to bacterial growth efficiency.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 2020

Muscarella Mario E, Howey Xia Meng, Lennon Jay T

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is the proportion of assimilated carbon that is converted into biomass and reflects the balance between growth and energetic demands. Often measured as an aggregate property of the community, BGE is highly variable within and across ecosystems. To understand this variation, we first identified how species identity and resource type affect BGE using 20 bacterial isolates belonging...
