Dr. Gianna Marschmann and members of LBNL’s Ecology Department used genome-inferred models of microbial traits and energy budgets to successfully predict metabolic strategies of plant-associated microbes. In doing so, their models highlighted important life history traits and trade-offs, which provide useful insights for improving microbial components of global biogeochemical models.
