\subsection{Microbial response to isotopic labels}
% Fakesubsubsection: We propose that microbial decomposition
DNA-SIP can establish functional roles for thousands of phylotypes in a single
experiment without cultivation. We identified 104 soil OTUs that incorporated
$^{13}$C from xylose and/or cellulose into biomass
and
characterized substrate specificity and C-cycling dynamics over time. With this
information we can build a conceptual model for
these OTUs. the soil food web with respect
to xylose and cellulose in our microcosms. We propose xylose and
cellulose C added to soil microcosms took the following path through the
microbial food web (Figure~\ref{fig:foodweb}): fast-growing \textit{Firmicutes}
spore formers first assimilated xylose C
followed within 24 hours. Over the next
6 days, the remaining xylose-C and biomass from early-responding
\textit{Firmicutes} was consumed by \textit{Bacteroidetes},
\textit{Actinobacteria} \textit{Actinobacteria}, and \textit{Proteobacteria} phylotypes.
The \textit{Bacteroidetes}, \textit{Actinobacteria} and
\textit{Proteobacteria} phylotypes may have also fed on the early xylose-C
assimilating \textit{Firmicutes}. Canonical
cellulose degrading bacteria
such
as like \textit{Cellvibrio} and members of
cosmopolitan yet functionally uncharacterized soil phylogenetic groups like
\textit{Chloroflexi}, \textit{Planctomycetes} and \textit{Verrucomicrobia},
specifically the \textit{Spartobacteria}, decomposed cellulose. Cellulose
C incorporation into microbial biomass peaked at day 14 and
was maintained extended through
day 30.
