DOI: 10.1128/aem.01443-17
Abstract: ABSTRACT The difficulty involved in quantifying biogeochemically significant microbes in marine sediments limits our ability to assess interspecific interactions, population turnover times, and niches of uncultured taxa. We incubated surface sediments from Cape Lookout Bight,… read more here.
