The Characterization of Microbiome and Interactions on Weathered Rocks in a Subsurface Karst Cave, Central China

Karst caves are a natural oligotrophic subsurface biosphere widely distributed in southern China. Despite the progress in bacterial and fungal diversity, the knowledge about interactions between bacteria, fungi, and minerals is still limited in caves. Hence, for the first time, we investigated the i...
