Bacterial Keystone Taxa Regulate Carbon Metabolism in the Earthworm Gut

Bacterial Keystone Taxa Regulate Carbon Metabolism in the Earthworm Gut

ABSTRACT As important ecosystem engineers in soils, earthworms strongly influence carbon cycling through their burrowing and feeding activities. Earthworms do not perform these roles in isolation, because their intestines create a special habitat favorable for complex bacterial communities. However,...
