The soil microbial food web revisited with metatranscriptomics - predatory Myxobacteria as keystone taxon?
S. Petters, A. Soellinger, M. M. Bengtsson, T. Urich
The paper uses metatranscriptomics to assess bacterivores in soil, finding Myxobacteria are abundant and may act as keystone taxa, suggesting a bacterial loop independent of protozoa and nematodes.
