Marine biofilms constitute a bank of hidden microbial diversity and functional potential

Marine biofilms constitute a bank of hidden microbial diversity and functional potential

Previous surveys of global ocean microbial diversity have focused on planktonic microbes. Here, Zhang et al. use metagenomics to study biofilm-forming marine microbes, increasing the known microbial diversity in the oceans by more than 20% and revealing new biosynthetic gene clusters and CRISPR-Cas...
