Reevaluating the Salty Divide: Phylogenetic Specificity of Transitions between Marine and Freshwater Systems
ABSTRACT Marine and freshwater microbial communities are phylogenetically distinct, and transitions between habitat types are thought to be infrequent. We compared the phylogenetic diversity of marine and freshwater microorganisms and identified specific lineages exhibiting notably high or low simil...
