Cyanobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria May Facilitate Cooperative Interactions in Niche Communities
Hypoliths, microbial assemblages found below translucent rocks, provide important ecosystem services in deserts. While several studies have assessed microbial diversity of hot desert hypoliths and whether these communities are metabolically active, the interactions among taxa remain unclear. Here, w...
