Interrogation of Internal Workings in Microbial Community Assembly: Play a Game through a Behavioral Network?

ABSTRACT Increasing evidence shows that the influence of microbiota on biogeochemical cycling, plant development, and human health is executed through a complex network of microbe-microbe interactions. However, characterizing how microbes interact and work together within closely packed and highly h...
