- Deciphering co-occurrence and co-exclusion patterns among microbial taxa and environmental parameters can help predict potential biotic interactions, shared physiologies, or habitat affinities, thus, improving our understanding of ecological niches occupied by specific bacterial species. These findings have wide relevance, especially to the increasing use of nuclear power for energy and the need to understand potential impacts of nuclear waste disposal on the broader environment. This research has led to the publication of another article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jes.2019.05.028. New insights are given into compositions and associations among bacteria communities which serve as a foundation for future bioreduction implementation and monitoring of uranium-contaminated sites.
