\section{Results and Discussion}
In this study, we couple nucleic acid SIP with next generation sequencing (SIP-NGS) to observe C use dynamics by the soil microbial community. A series of parallel soil microcosms all amended with a C substrate mixture--the substrate mixture was identical for each bottle except in one series of bottles the cellulose was $^{13}$C-labeled in another the xylose was $^{13}$C-labeld and in the last no sustrattes were labeled--were incubated for 30 days. The C substrate mixture was designed to approximate freshly degrading plant
biomass and xylose biomass. Xylose or cellulose
were chosen to
carry carried the isotopic
labeled to label so we could examine
dynamics of C assimilation
dynamics for labile, soluble C
and versus insoluble, polymeric C. 5.3 mg total mass of C substrate mixture per gram soil (including 0.42 mg xylose-C and 0.88 mg cellulose-C g soil$^{-1}$) was added to each
microcosm, microcosm representing 18\% of the total
C present in the soils. soil C. Microcosms were harvested at several time points during the incubation period and $^{13}$C assimilation by the microbial community was observed by sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons from bulk soil DNA and CsCl gradient fractions (\href{https://www.authorea.com/users/3537/articles/8459/master/file/figures/20140708_ConceptualFig2/20140708_ConceptualFig2.pdf}{Fig. S1}). Xylose degradation was observed immediately, while cellulose degradation was observed after two weeks.
\subsection{$^{13}$C from cellulose assimilated by canonical cellulose-degrading and uncharacterized microbial lineages in many phyla including \textit{Chloroflexi} and \textit{Verrucomicrobia}}
Only 2 and 5 OTUs were found to have incorporated $^{13}$C from labeled cellulose at days 3 and 7, respectively. At days 14 and 30, however, 42 and 39 OTUs were found to incorporate $^{13}$C from cellulose into biomass. An average 16\% of the $^{13}$C-cellulose added was respired within the first 7 days, 38\% by day 14, and 60\% by day 30. A \textit{Cellvibrio} and \textit{Sandaracinaceae} OTU assimilated $^{13}$C from cellulose at day 3. Day 7 responders included the same \textit{Cellvirio} responder at day 3, a \texit{Verrucomicrobia} OTU and three \textit{Chloroflexi} OTUs. 50\% of Day 14 responders belong to Proteobacteria (66\% Alpha-, 19\% Gamma-, and 14\% Beta-) followed by 17\% \textit{Planctomycetes}, 14\% \textit{Verrucomicrobia}, 10\% \textit{Chloroflexi}, 7\% \textit{Actinobacteria} and 2\% \textit{Cyanobacteria}. \textit{Bacteroidetes} OTUs begin to incoporate $^{13}$C from cellulose at dat 30 (13\% of day 30 responders). Other day 30 responding phyla include \textit{Proteobacteria} (30\% of day 30 responders; 42\% Alpha-, 42\% Delta, 8\% Gamma-, and 8\% Beta-), \textit{Planctomycetes} (20\%), \textit{Verrucomicrobia} (20\%), \textit{Chloroflexi} (13\%) and \textit{Cyanobacteria} (3\%). \textit{Proteobacteria}, \textit{Verrucomicrobia}, and \textit{Chloroflexi} had relatively high numbers of responders with heavy response across multiple time points (ref l2fc figure).
