Integrated biogeography of planktonic and sedimentary bacterial communities in the Yangtze River
BackgroundBacterial communities are essential to the biogeochemical cycle in riverine ecosystems. However, little is presently known about the...

Community genomic analyses constrain the distribution of metabolic traits across the Chloroflexi phylum and indicate roles in sediment carbon cycling
BackgroundSediments are massive reservoirs of carbon compounds and host a large fraction of microbial life. Microorganisms within terrestrial aquifer...
