Rare Biosphere Reveals a Decoupling Between Microbial Abundance and Intrinsic Physiological Potential in Shanxi Aged Vinegar Fermentation

This study provides an ecological framework for linking microbial abundance with physiological function beyond sequence-based abundance inference in complex fermentation microbiomes and demonstrates that meta-omic abundance does not necessarily predict physiological performance and that low abundance may reflect ecolog...
