“Neutral and niche dynamics in a synthetic microbial community”

2017-02-12

Abstract excerpt

Ecologists debate the relative importance of niche versus neutral processes in understanding biodiversity 1,2 . This debate is especially pertinent to microbial communities, which play crucial roles in biogeochemical cycling 3,4 , food production 5 , industrial processes 6,7 , and human health and disease 8 . Here we created a synthetic microbial community using heritable genetic barcodes and tracked communit...
