Biophysical properties at patch scale shape the metabolism of biofilm landscapes
Abstract Phototrophic biofilms form complex spatial patterns in streams and rivers, yet, how community patchiness, structure and function are coupled and contribute to larger-scale metabolism remains unkown. Here, we combined optical coherence tomography with automated O2 microprofiling and amplicon...
