Reposted by @simonmarech.bsky.socialRolf Kümmerli @rkmicrobes.bsky.social · 12/02/2025New paper out in ISME Journal. Social interactions between strains shape bacterial communities. However, their impact on community functioning is lower compared to basic strain identity features. @joskramer.bsky.social @alexfig.bsky.social @simonmarech.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...academic.oup.comStrain identity effects contribute more to Pseudomonas community functioning than strain interactionsAbstract. Microbial communities can shape key ecological services, but the determinants of their functioning often remain little understood. While traditio 04220
