Population genomic analysis of strain variation in Leptospirillum group II bacteria involved in acid mine drainage formation.

Deeply sampled community genomic (metagenomic) datasets enable comprehensive analysis of heterogeneity in natural microbial populations. In this study, we used sequence data obtained from the dominant member of a low-diversity natural chemoautotrophic microbial community to determine how coexisting...
