The influence of substrate concentration on the culturability of heterotrophic soil microbes isolated by high-throughput dilution-to-extinction cultivation

R. Bartelme, J. M. Custer, C. Dupont, J. L. Espinoza, M. Torralba, B. Khalili, P. Carini

This study isolates subsurface soil microbes using high-throughput dilution-to-extinction culturing and shows that substrate concentration affects culturability of specific microbial lineages.
