How mutualisms arise in phytoplankton communities: building eco-evolutionary principles for aquatic microbes
Description: Extensive sampling and metagenomics analyses of plankton communities across all aquatic environments are beginning to provide insights into the ecology of microbial communities. Here researchers show how both studies of environmental samples and physiological experimentation in the laboratory with defined microbial co-cultures are being used to decipher the metabolic and molecular underpinnings of such exchanges.
