Simplifying Microbial Consortia Opens a Path to Understanding Soil Community Ecology

December 27, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments Biological and Environmental Research, microbes, soil

New research demonstrates that microbial communities that are simplified but still representative may offer a way to explore more complex ones. In particular, they can help scientists uncover the mechanisms that drive the ecology of groups of soil microbes.
