Brokers at the Unconformity

Metabolic complementarity networks of genomes recovered across one basement–cover contact

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions recovers 137 species-level metagenome-assembled genomes from eighteen intervals of one cored basement–cover unconformity and links them wherever one genome's predicted secretions meet another's auxotrophies. The resulting network splits into a cover module and a basement module, joined by nine hydrogen-using genomes, seven of them from the lower palaeoregolith.
