However, some species are consistently over-represented in domesticated or in wild species (across plants, studies, and source soils!!!) - check the Burkholderiaceae! (4/6)

And the patterns in 16S data are not consistent with a loss of host control: 1. Root microbiomes are very different to surrounding soil in domesticated and wild (one category is not consistently more dissimilar). But grasses tend to have a more dissimilar microbiome from soil than legumes. (3/6)

We found that, if something, domestication increases diversity of microbiomes (2/6)

Using this measurement, we were able to predict the qualitative behavior across most communities (except 12C, that is a whole story in the paper!), and our quantitative predictions landed in between our observed values for glucose and other sugars. (10/12)

Thus, as organic acid secretions increase with increasing temperatures, so does the ratio of respirator to fermenter taxa (R/F) in replicated assembled communities on different sugars (with fucose, and two sugar alcohols as the exception). (8/12)

Indeed, we observed higher growth rates and higher organic acid secretions as we increased temperature... up to a point. (6/12)

But as fermenters grow faster, they also secrete more organic acids, allowing for the relative abundance of respirators to increase. With higher temperatures, we expected faster fermenter growth and higher organic acid secretions. (5/12)
