Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on the functional traits and the stability of the soil microbiome. Communities differing in phylogenetic diversity were generated by inoculating serially diluted soil suspensions into sterilized soil, and the stability of the microbiome was assessed by detecting community variations under various pH levels. The taxonomic features and potential functional traits were detected by DNA sequencing. SN - 2049-2618 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-020-00985-9 DO - 10.1186/s40168-020-00985-9 ID - Xun2021 ER -
