Importance of key microbial in soil processes

The project will aim at the identification of the relative contribution of abundant microbial taxa to soil processes. It will be based on the comparison of transcriptomic and functional analysis of individual microbial strains or species representatives and the identification of processes performed by these taxa in soil using the analysis of metatranscriptomes. The project should help to quantify the contribution of selected major microbial taxa to biogeochemical processes in soils.
