3. Discovery of the potential role of plasmids in mediating cyanobacteria–heterotroph interactions

2. Statistical detection of functional traits enriched in core community members

This enabled three key advances in the study of cyanobacterial communities:

1. Identification of core microbiomes across diverse cyanobacterial strains

🚨 Fresh from the press! We created and analyzed over 100 in vitro cyanobacterial consortia using well-characterized model cyanobacterial hosts to better understand how cyanobacteria recruit and interact with their microbiomes.
