Long-Term Cellulose Enrichment Selects for Highly Cellulolytic Consortia and Competition for Public Goods

ABSTRACT The complexity of microbial communities hinders our understanding of how microbial diversity and microbe-microbe interactions impact community functions. Here, using six independent communities originating from the refuse dumps of leaf-cutter ants and enriched using the plant polymer cellul...
