Prokaryotic Nucleotide Composition Is Shaped by Both Phylogeny and the Environment

The causes of the great variation in nucleotide composition of prokaryotic genomes have long been disputed. Here, we use extensive metagenomic and whole-genome data to demonstrate that both phylogeny and the environment shape prokaryotic nucleotide content. We show that across environments, various...
