Bacterial Preferences for Specific Soil Particle Size Fractions Revealed by Community Analyses

Genetic fingerprinting demonstrated in previous studies that differently sized soil particle fractions (PSFs; clay, silt, and sand with particulate organic matter (POM)) harbor microbial communities that differ in structure, functional potentials and sensitivity to environmental conditions. To eluci...
