Animal-associated microbiomes are integral to host health, yet key biotic and abiotic factors that shape host-associated microbial communities at the global scale remain poorly understood. We investigated global patterns ...
Metagenomics reveals bacterial and archaeal adaptation to urban land-use: n catabolism, methanogenesis, and nutrient acquisition

Schmidt, Dietrich J. Epp; Cilliers, Sarel; Kotze, David Johan; Hornung, Erzsébet; Setala, Heikki (Frontiers Media, 2019)
