The importance of spatial heterogeneity and self-restraint on mutualism stability - a quantitative review.

abstract：:Based on the structural complexity of ribosomes, 16S rRNA genes are considered species-specific and hence used for bacterial phylogenetic analysis. However, a growing number of reports suggest the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer, raising genealogical questions. Here we show the genetic interoperability and prom...
