Elevation drives activity of soil bacteria, but not of bacterial viruses

D. Merges, A. Schmidt, I. Schmitt, E. L. Neuschulz, F. Dal Grande, M. Balint

The paper investigates how elevation affects bacterial and bacteriophage activity in soil using metatranscriptomics across an elevational gradient in the Swiss Alps.
