Genome-resolved metagenomics reveals seasonally defined life strategies in hypersaline sediments
Habib Ullah, Ramganesh Selvarjan, Maggie C. Y. Lau
This study uses genome-resolved metagenomics to show that hypersaline sediments use different osmoadaptation strategies seasonally, with biosurfactant production occurring at the cell envelope rather than being secreted.
