Twenty-nine OTUs changed in significantly in relative abundance with time  ("BH” adjusted P-value $<$ 0.10 \citet{YBenjamini1995})). When SSU rRNA  gene abundances were combined at the taxonomic rank of "Class", only  Bacilli \textit{Bacilli}  (decreased), Flavobacteria \textit{Flavobacteria}  (decreased), Gammaproteobacteria \textit{Gammaproteobacteria}  (decreased) and Herpetosiphonales \textit{Herpetosiphonales}  (increased) significantly changed in relative abundance with time (P-value $<$ 0.10, Figure~\ref{fig:time_class}). Of the 29 OTUs that changed in relative abundance with time, 14 were found to have incorporated $^{13}$C into DNA (Figure~\ref{fig:time} and below). Of the 14 OTUs that were found to have both incorporated $^{13}$C into DNA and significantly changed in relative abundance with time, OTUs that incorporated $^{13}$C from $^{13}$C-cellulose increased with time whereas those that incorporated $^{13}$C from $^{13}$C-xylose decreased over time and OTUs that responded to both substrates were found to either have increased or decreased over time (Figure~\ref{fig:time}~and~\ref{fig:babund}). \subsection{OTUs that assimilated $^{13}$C into DNA} \label{responders}  % Fakesubsubsection:Within the first 7 days of incubation approximately 63\%  

The phylogenetic types of putatively $^{13}$C labeled OTUs (i.e. responders)  changed with time (Figure~\ref{fig:l2fc}~and~\ref{fig:xyl_count}). On day 1,  Bacilli \textit{Bacilli}  OTUs represented 84\% of xylose responders, and the majority of these OTUs were closely related to cultivated representatives of the genus \textit{Paenibacillus} (n $=$ XX, Table~\ref{tab:xyl}). For example, "OTU.57"  (Table\ref{tab:xyl}), annotated as \textit{Paenibacillus}, has a strong signal  of $^{13}$C incorporation from 13C-xylose into DNA at day 1, at its maximum 

xylose responders (Figure~\ref{fig:xyl_count}) and were closely related to  cultivated representatives of the \textit{Flavobacteriales} and  \textit{Sphingobacteriales} (Table~\ref{tab:xyl}). For example, "OTU.14",  annotated as a Flavobacterium, has a strong signal for $^{13}$C labeling from $^{13}$C-xylose at days 1 and 3 coinciding with its maximum relative abundance in non-fractionated soil DNA. The relative abundance of "OTU.14" then declines until day 14 and evidence of $^{13}$C labeling is not significant after day 3 (Figure X). Finally, on day 7, \textit{Actinobacteria} OTUs represented 53\% of the xylose responders and these OTUs were closely related to cultivated representatives of \textit{Micrococcales} (Table~\ref{tab:xyl}). For example, "OTU.4", annotated as \textit{Agromyces}, has signal of $^{13}$C labeling on days 1 through 7 with the strongest evidence $^{13}$C labeling at day 7, its relative abundance in non-fractionated soil increases until day 3 and then declines gradually until day 30 and evidence of 13C labeling  declines after day 7 (Figure X). \textit{Proteobacteria} were also common  among xylose responders at day 7 where they comprised 40\% of xylose responder 

(Table~\ref{tab:xyl}).   %Fakesubsubsection:Cellulose responders were  The phylogenetic types of cellulose responders did not change with time to the  same extent as the unlike  phylogenetic types of xylose responders. Also, in contrast to xylose responders, cellulose responders often belonged to non-cultivated microbial clades. Both the relative abundance and the number of cellulose responders increased over time peaking at days 14 and 30 (Figures~\ref{fig:l2fc}, \ref{fig:rspndr_count}, and \ref{fig:babund}). The  phylogenetic composition of cellulose responders changed little between days 14  and 30 (Table~\ref{tab:cell}). Cellulose responders belonged to the 

OTUs), and \textit{Deltaproteobacteria} (6 OTUs).   The majority (85\%) of cellulose responders outside of the  \textit{Proteobacteria} shared $<$ 97\% SSU rRNA gene sequence  identity to bacteria already cultivated in isolation. For example, most (70\%) of the \textit{Verrucomicrobia} cellulose responders fell within a few unidentified  \textit{Spartobacteria} clades, and these shared $<$ 85\% SSU rRNA gene  sequence identity to any characterized isolate. The \textit{Spartobacteria} OTU 

% Fakesubsubsection:Cellulose responders tended  Cellulose responders tended to have lower relative abundance in  non-fractionated soil DNA, demonstrated signal consistent with higher  $^{13}$C:12C $^{13}$C:$^{12}$C  ratios in DNA upon $^{13}$C labeling, and lower estimated \textit{rrn} copy number than xylose responders. In the non-fractionated soil  DNA, cellulose responders had significantly lower relative abundance (7e$^{-4}$  (s.d. 2e$^{-3}$)) than xylose responders (2e$^{-3}$ (s.d. 4e$^{-3}$))  (Figure~\ref{xyl_count}, (Figure~\ref{fig:xyl_count},  P-value $=$ 0.00028, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test). Six of the ten most common OTUs observed in the non-fractionated soil DNA responded to xylose, and, of the 10 most abundant $^{13}$C substrate responders in the non-fractionated soil DNA 8 were xylose responders and 2 were cellulose  responders. However, $^{13}$C-xylose and $^{13}$C-cellulose responders included  OTUs at both high and low abundance (Figure~\ref{fig:shift}). Two 

% Fakesubsubsection:Cellulose responders exhibited a greater shift in BD  DNA buoyant density increases as its ratio of $^{13}$C to $^{12}$C increases.  An organism that only assimilates C into DNA from a  $^{13}$C labeled sources, source,  will have a greater DNA $^{13}$C:$^{12}$C than an organism utilizing a mixture  of $^{13}$C labeled and unlabeled C sources (see Supplemental~Note~1.8).  Therefore,the  specificity of C use can be evaluated by the change in DNA buoyant density (BD) upon $^{13}$C labeling. In this study, study  we do not know the absolute abundance of OTUs OTU DNA  across the density gradient as our SSU rRNA gene sequence counts are compositional in nature hence we cannot assess absolute OTU  DNA  buoyant density shifts due to $^{13}$C labeling. However, we can evaluate relative C use specificity by quantifying and comparing the shift in the  relative abundance profile for an OTU along the density gradient in response to  $^{13}$C labeling. Specifically, in this study we calculated each OTU's  relative abundance density gradient profilecenter of mass  shift for each every  label/control DNA density gradient pair (see supplemental methods for the  detailed calculation). We refer to this metric as $\Delta\hat{BD}$. This metric  indicates relative differences in DNA 13C:12C $^{13}$C:$^{12}$C  and can be used to compare DNA 13C:12C $^{13}$C:$^{13}$C  between groups of responders. $\Delta\hat{BD}$ does not represent the true density shift for an OTU because it is based on relative abundance and is therefore not directly comparable to literature values for DNA density shifts due to isotopic labeling. Cellulose responder $\Delta\hat{BD}$ (0.0163 g mL$^{-1}$ (s.d. 0.0094)) was significantly greater than that of xylose responders (0.0097 g mL$^{-1}$ (s.d. 0.0094)) (Figure~\ref{fig:shift}, P-value $=$ 1.8610e$^{-6}$, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test). % Fakesubsubsection:We predicted the rrn  We predicted the \textit{rrn} gene copy number for responders as described  by \citet{Kembel_2012}. The number of \textit{rrn} gene copies  a microorganism has is correlated to it's ability to increase growth  rapidly in response to nutrient influx \citep{Klappenbach_2000}.  Additionally, \textit{Bacillus~subtilis} mutants constructed with one to  ten \textit{rrn} gene copies had progressively shorter doubling times as  \textit{rrn} gene copy number increased \citep{yano_multiple_2013}  suggesting that in some microorganisms \textit{rrn} gene copy number is  proportional to growth rate. The estimated \textit{rrn} gene  copy number of cellulose responders (X) was significantly lower than that  of xylose responders (X) (Figures~\ref{fig:shift} and \ref{fig:copy};  P = 1.878e$^{-9}$). Furthermore, we observed that estimated \textit{rrn}  gene copy number for xylose responders was inversely related to the day of  first response (P = 2.02e$^{-15}$, Figure~\ref{fig:copy}).  % Fakesubsubsection:We assessed phylogenetic  We assessed phylogenetic clustering of $^{13}$C-responsive OTUs with the  Nearest Taxon Index (NTI) and the Net Relatedness Index (NRI)  \citep{Webb2000}. We also quantified the average clade depth of cellulose and xylose responders with the consenTRAIT metric \citep{Martiny2013}. Briefly, the  NRI and NTI evaluate phylogenetic clustering against a null model for the distribution of a trait in a phylogeny. The NRI and NTI values are z-scores and thus the greater the magnitude of the NRI/NTI, the stronger the evidence for clustering (positive values) or overdispersion (negative values). NRI assesses overall clustering whereas the NTI assesses terminal clustering. An NRI of 1.96, for instance, would signify overall phylogenetic clustering with a corresponding P-value of 0.05 \citep{Evans2014a}. The consenTRAIT metric is a measure of the average clade depth for a trait in a phylogenetic tree. NRI values indicate that cellulose responders clustered phylogenetically (NRI: 4.49) while xylose responders are overdispersed (NRI: -1.33). NTI values show that both cellulose and xylose responders are terminally clustered (NTI: 1.43 and 2.69, respectively). The consenTRAIT clade depth for xylose and cellulose responders was 0.012 and 0.028 SSU rRNA gene sequence dissimilarity,  respectively. As reference, the average clade depth is 0.017 SSU rRNA gene  sequence dissimilarity for arabinose utilization (another five C sugar found in hemicellulose) and was 0.013 and 0.034 SSU rRNA gene sequence dissimilarity for glucosidase and cellulase activity of isolates in culture, respectively \citep{Martiny2013,Berlemont2013}.
