Metabolic flexibility allows generalist bacteria to become dominant in a frequently disturbed ecosystem

Y.-J. Chen, P. M. Leung, S. K. Bay, P. Hugenholtz, A. J. Kessler, G. Shelley, D. W. Waite, P. L. M. Cook, C. Greening

This study shows that metabolically flexible bacteria dominate in disturbed ecosystems, outcompeting specialists during habitat disturbance.
