Microbial diversity in active and abandoned desert kangaroo rat burrows and from proximal surface sand

Microbial diversity in active and abandoned desert kangaroo rat burrows and from proximal surface sand

ABSTRACT Desert kangaroo rats (Dipodomys deserti) construct burrows that can create micro-niches favorable to increased microbial activity. The aim of this study was to characterize the bacterial communities found in kangaroo rat burrows, in proximal desert surface sand, and in samples from kangaroo...
