Biogeographic Patterns in Members of Globally Distributed and Dominant Taxa Found in Port Microbial Communities

Biogeographic Patterns in Members of Globally Distributed and Dominant Taxa Found in Port Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT We conducted a global characterization of the microbial communities of shipping ports to serve as a novel system to investigate microbial biogeography. The community structures of port microbes from marine and freshwater habitats house relatively similar phyla, despite spanning large spatia...
