Abstract:Mangrove sediments host a diverse array of microbial populations and are characterized by high heterogeneity along their vertical depths. However, the genetic diversity within these populations is largely unknown, hindering our understanding of their adaptive evolution across the sediment depths. To elucidate their genetic diversity, we utilized metagenome sequencing to identify 16 high‐frequency microbial populations comprised of two archaea and 14 bacteria from mangrove sediment cores (0–100 cm, with 10 dept… Show more
