Abstract. Microbial community assembly is governed by the flow of carbon sources and other primary metabolites between species. However, central metabolism

Nanopore sequencing of Danish soils and sediments yields genomes from over 15,000 microbial species, expanding the phylogenetic diversity of prokaryotes by 8%.

In natural habitats, nutrient availability limits bacterial growth. We discovered that bacteria can overcome this limitation by acquiring nutrients by lysing neighboring cells through contact-dependen...
