Adaptions of Lichen Microbiota Functioning Under Persistent Exposure to Arsenic Contamination
Host-associated microbiota play an important role in the health and persistence of more complex organisms. In this study, metagenomic analyses were used to reveal microbial community adaptations in three lichen samples as a response to different arsenic concentrations at the sampling sites. Elevated...
