Linking methanotroph phenotypes to genotypes using a simple spatially resolved model ecosystem.

Abstract excerpt

Connecting genes to phenotypic traits in bacteria is often challenging because of a lack of environmental context in laboratory settings. Laboratory-based model ecosystems offer a means to better account for environmental conditions compared with standard planktonic cultures and can help link genotypes and phenotypes. Here, we present a simple, cost-effective, laboratory-based model ecosystem to study aerobic...
