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

The discrepancy between in situ microbial abundance and actual metabolic performance represents a critical challenge for interpreting microbial function from meta-omic data. Here, we integrated metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing to investigate this decoupling between microbial abundance and cultivation-based...
