text: By sequencing the bacterial 16S gene, researchers infer the phylogeny of a strain’s core genome, but it can be argued that this gives little information about metabolic traits, because many of the key genes involved in N, P, and S metabolism are accessory genes, which are not taxonomically conserved due to the high prevalence of horizontal gene transfer between bacteria (Kumar et al., 2015; Young, 2016).
