16S rRNA/rRNA Gene Ratios and Cell Activity Staining Reveal Consistent Patterns of Microbial Activity in Plant-Associated Soil

ABSTRACT At any given time, only a subset of microbial community members are active in their environment. The others are in a state of dormancy, with strongly reduced metabolic rates. It is of interest to distinguish active and inactive microbial cells and taxa to understand their functional contrib...
