Functional tradeoffs underpin salinity-driven divergence in microbial community composition. by Chris L Dupont, John Larsson, Shibu Yooseph, Karolina Ininbergs, Johannes Goll, Johannes Asplund-Samuelsson, John P McCrow, Narin Celepli, Lisa Zeigler Allen, Martin Ekman, Andrew J Lucas, Åke Hagström, Mathangi Thiagarajan, Björn Brindefalk, Alexander R Richter, Anders F Andersson, Aaron Tenney, Daniel Lundin, Andrey Tovchigrechko, Johan A A Nylander, Daniel Brami, Jonathan H Badger, Andrew E Allen, Douglas B Rusch, Jeff Hoffman, Erling Norrby, Robert Friedman, Jarone Pinhassi, J Craig Venter, Birgitta Bergman

“…Multivariate statistical analyses showed that salinity is the main determinant of dramatic changes in microbial community composition, but also of large scale changes in core metabolic functions of bacteria. Strikingly, genetically and metabolically different pathways for key metabolic processes, such as respiration, biosynthesis of quinones and isoprenoids, glycolysis and osmolyte transport, were differentially abundant at high and low salinities. …”
