Microbial interactions represent the inner connections in the gut microbiome. By integrating mathematical modeling tools and microbial bidirectional culturing, we determined how two gut commensals engage in the exchange of cross-feeding metabolites, lactate and succinate, for increased growth in two fibers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
