3
Seasonal autotrophs may thus be setting the pace for rhythmic heterotrophs.
4
Plant polymers increased the diversity of acidobacteria cultivated but decreased the total number of heterotrophs recovered compared to readily oxidizable carbon.
5
Although they have been characterized as versatile heterotrophs, it is unclear if the types and availability of organic resources influence their distribution in soil.
