New research demonstrates that microbial communities that are simplified but still representative may offer a way to explore more complex ones. In particular, they can help scientists uncover the mechanisms that drive the ecology of groups of soil microbes.Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Simplifying Microbial Consortia Opens a Path to Understanding Soil Community Ecology
