Assembly of gut-derived bacterial communities follows "early-bird" resource utilization dynamics

A. Aranda-Diaz, L. Willis, T. H. Nguyen, P.-Y. Ho, J. Vila, T. Thomsen, T. Chavez, R. Yan, F. B. Yu, N. Neff, A. Sanchez, S. Estrela, K. Huang

This study shows that gut microbiota assembly follows 'early-bird' dynamics where fast-growing species dominate nutrient sources, and develops a predictive model for community composition based on nutrient inputs.
