C assimilating, gram-positive spore-formers. Hence, trophic interactions
among soil bacteria may be of importance in soil C turnover models.
How -- or if -- phylogenetic composition affects SOM dynamics is an open
question CITE. Phylogenetic composition could affect SOM dynamics if SOM
transformations were not functionally redundant traits and if biology is rate
limiting for key C transformations CITE. Alternatively, even with functional
redundancy resource allocation at the cell level can influence SOM fate and
turnover CITE. It is likely that the ability to carry out soil
C transformations are redundant within and between soil microbial communities.
However, we demonstrate phylogenetically coherent response to soluble
C additions. For instance, most of the initial response to xylose can be
attributed to aerobic spore formers. Assuming cellular resource allocation is
consistent with phylogeny, it is possible that phylogenetic composition can
significantly influence SOM dynamics. Aerobic spore-formers, for example, are
found in different proportions across soil biomes CITE and even within regional
agricultural soils CITE Berthrong. If present and abundant, aerobic
spore-formers may be primary soluble C decomposers and allocate C in specific
quantities into intra and extracellular C components. Although, not
demonstrated in this study, the allocation of C from soluble, labile pools
in a soil without or under conditions not suitable for aerobic
spore-formers may be significantly different. Polymeric C, on the other hand,
did not show the same phylogenetic coherence as soluble C decomposition in this
study. This suggests that resource allocation among cellulose degraders would
not have a single phylogenetic signal. Cellulose degraders as a whole likely
allocate C differently than labile C degraders though. Also, it seems likely
that a rod morphology like \textit{Cellvibrio} would have a different
ecological and perhaps resource allocation strategy than a gliding
\textit{Bacteroidetes} or \textit{Chloroflexi} cellulose degrader.
