Metabolic ecology, microbial community structure, and gene-centric metagenomics

2025-08-08

Abstract excerpt

Metabolic ecology includes predictions for biological rates from molecules to ecosystems, but despite the broad range of its scope, its applicability to metagenomes remains an open question. Here, we integrate metabolic ecology with principles of DNA shotgun sequencing to generate specific testable predictions for the metagenomic structure of microbial communities. We start by predicting a scaling relationship bet...
