Genomic and metabolic adaptations of biofilms to ecological windows of opportunity in glacier-fed streams

Genomic and metabolic adaptations of biofilms to ecological windows of opportunity in glacier-fed streams

In glacier-fed streams, ecological windows of opportunity allow complex microbial biofilms to develop and transiently form the basis of the food web. Using metagenomics, this study reveals the metabolic strategies and key genomic underpinnings of adaptive traits that enable these biofilms to exploit...
