This study shows that natural microbial communities are dominated by slow-growing bacteria, as evidenced by chemostat experiments and trait-based modeling.

This study shows that experimental design affects qSIP-derived metabolic activity estimates in aquatic bacteria, with chemostats reducing the competitive advantage of fast-growing taxa.

The paper identifies active microbial subnetworks in deep salt marsh sediments capable of decomposing complex carbon and aromatics, revealing depth-related stratification and metabolic pathways involved.
