A new preprint with Matthew Schmitt, @kiseokmicro.bsky.social and Vincenzo Vitelli makes a huge step forward in learning functional groups of components in complex biological systems. It's dimension reduction that speaks to biological function. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Diverse microbial communities assemble on both recalcitrant and labile carbon sources Microbial community assembly is shaped by the nature of available resources, with labile carbon sources such as glucose often expected to support low diversity due to rapid growth and competitive excl...

A new preprint! Data from a huge experiment by @prczhaoyansong.bsky.social show that similar microbial communities diverge depending on whether the carbon source is glucose or its polymer, cellulose. Diversity is comparable, but biomass, functions and taxonomy differ:
