Project description:This study investigates temporal dynamics in microbial community function within the freshwater ecosystem of Lake Zurich, Switzerland, over three months (36 timepoints). Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and metaproteomes were analyzed to identify species-specific and community-level protein expression patterns. The study explores how bacterial species contribute to ecosystem functioning through protein-level activity, focusing on relationships between species taxonomy, abundance, and protein investment patterns.
