Habitat fragmentation controls bacterial community composition outcomes

Maxime Batsch, Anna Puzyrko, Isaline Guex, Jan Roelof van der Meer

This study shows that habitat fragmentation increases bacterial community evenness and species coexistence by creating isolated microhabitats with varying taxa compositions.

Fragmented micro-growth habitats present opportunities for alternative competitive outcomes

Maxime Batsch, Isaline Guex, Helena Todorov…·Jan Roelof van der Meer

The paper shows that fragmented microhabitats lead to more variable bacterial interactions, enabling alternative outcomes and supporting species diversity.
