Similar diversity of Alphaproteobacteria and nitrogenase gene amplicons on two related Sphagnum mosses

Sphagnum mosses represent a main component in ombrotrophic wetlands. They harbor a specific and diverse microbial community with essential functions for the host. To understand extend and degree of host specificity, Sphagnum fallax and S. angustifolium, two phylogenetically closely related species,...
