Modularity of nitrogen-oxide reducing soil bacteria: linking phenotype to genotype.

abstract：:Although truffles are cultivated since decades, their life cycle and the conditions stimulating ascocarp formation still remain mysterious. A role for bacteria in the development of several truffle species has been suggested but few is known regarding the natural bacterial communities of Périgord Black truffle. Thus, ...
