Metal tolerance scores predict field isolation context
Species with higher metal tolerance scores are enriched in metal-associated isolation or contaminated-site contexts.
Opportunity Hooks
Metal tolerance scores predict field isolation context
Hypothesis
Species with stronger metal tolerance scores occur more often in metal-associated environments or contaminated-site contexts.
Testable With
BacDive phenotype and isolation metadata, ENIGMA sample metadata, pangenome species identifiers, and metal tolerance scores.
Caveat
Metadata sparsity and organism coverage can dominate the result.
