Ecological and genomic attributes of novel bacterial taxa that thrive in subsurface soil horizons

T. E. Brewer, E. L. Aronson, K. Arogyaswamy, S. A. Billings, J. K. Botthoff, A. N. Campbell, N. C. Dove, D. Fairbanks, R. E. Gallery, S. Hart, J. Kaye, G. M. King, G. Logan, K. A. Lohse, M. R. Maltz, , N. Fierer

The paper examines subsurface soil microbial communities across 20 U.S. profiles, finding decreased diversity and distinct taxa at depth, including the dominant Dormibacteraeota phylum, and identifies genomic traits enabling survival in oligotrophic conditions.
