It’s the song, not the singer: an exploration of holobiosis and evolutionary theory (2017, background): “It is even more tempting to think this way when there is no macrobial host, as in some biofilms or indeed, perhaps, the biosphere as a whole (Louca et al. 2016).”
A practical guide to amplicon and metagenomic analysis of microbiome data (2020, background): “…functions such as nitrate respiration, iron respiration, plant pathogen, and animal parasites or symbionts, making it useful for environmental (Louca et al., 2016), agricultural (Zhang et al., 2019), and animal (Ross et al., 2018) A practical guide to amplicon and metagenomic analysis of…”
Biogeographic patterns of microbial association networks in paddy soil within Eastern China (2020, background): “Recently, functional groups have gained increasing attention owing to inability to dissect biogeochemical cycling solely by taxonomic information (Louca et al., 2016).”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “Future microbial community assembly studies must consider functional diversity along with taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity (239, 274).”
DRAM for distilling microbial metabolism to automate the curation of microbiome function (2020, background): “However, there is a growing consensus that for any of these habitats the taxonomic composition of the microbiome alone is not a good predictor of ecosystem functions, properties which are often better predicted from microbial and viral traits (28,29).”
Linking metagenomics to aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycles (2019, background): “In contrast, in some systems such as the surface ocean, functional composition tends to be far more stable than taxonomic composition, suggesting functional redundancy (Louca et al. 2016b), although the degree of functional redundancy is debated (Galand et al.”
Microbiome Helper: a Custom and Streamlined Workflow for Microbiome Research (2017, methodology): “Methods that attempt to predict phenotypic information from OTU tables such as BugBase (25) and FAPROTAX (26) are also included in the Microbiome Helper wiki and virtual image.”
