Proteobacteria Members Thrive in Soils and Occur at High Concentrations

question 47

Essay

Proteobacteria members thrive in soils and occur at high concentrations as well. Other bacterial taxa are considered much less diverse in terms of their metabolic capabilities. Due to the role isolation has in discovering metabolic pathways, consider how obtaining hundreds of new isolates from a less studied phylum might change our views on metabolic diversity. Predict how the results of discovering another highly metabolically diverse group might be handled in terms of taxonomic assignment.
