Many
of the microbial taxa living in the subsurface are under - represented in culture - dependent investigations.
Because the pool
of microbial taxa found in the soil is so large and diverse, it is hard to isolate the most beneficial ones for study.

In addition, cohousing coprophagic mice harboring transplanted microbiota from discordant pairs provides an opportunity to determine which bacterial
taxa invade the gut communities
of cage mates, how invasion correlates with host phenotypes, and how invasion and
microbial niche are affected by human diets.
And the numbers
of several
microbial types (
taxa) were also higher.
The results suggest that the sequenced genomes define two
microbial groups: one composed
of only a few
taxa that are nearly always abundant in picoplanktonic communities, and the other consisting
of many
microbial taxa that are rarely abundant.
