Determining Microbial Niche Breadth in the Environment for Better Ecosystem Fate Predictions

ABSTRACT Integrated omics applied to microbial communities offers a great opportunity to analyze the niche breadths (i.e., resource and condition ranges usable by a species) of constituent populations, ranging from generalists, with a broad niche breadth, to specialists, with a narrow one. In this c...
