Bacterial Community Succession, Transmigration, and Differential Gene Transcription in a Controlled Vertebrate Decomposition Model

Bacterial Community Succession, Transmigration, and Differential Gene Transcription in a Controlled Vertebrate Decomposition Model

Decomposing remains are a nutrient-rich ecosystem undergoing constant change due to cell breakdown and abiotic fluxes, such as pH level and oxygen availability. These environmental fluxes affect bacterial communities who respond in a predictive manner associated with the time since organismal death,...
