Strain dropouts reveal interactions that govern the metabolic output of the gut microbiome

M. Wang, L. J. Osborn, S. Jain, X. Meng, A. Weakley, J. Yan, W. Massey, V. Venkateshwari, A. J. Horak, R. Banerjee, D. S. Allende, R. Chan, A. Hajjar, A. Dimas, A. Zhao, , M. A. Fischbach

The paper investigates how strain dropouts in the gut microbiome affect community metabolism and host physiology, finding that functionally redundant strains can have significant impacts outside their niche.
