Drivers of human gut microbial community assembly: Coadaptation, determinism and stochasticity
K. Oliphant, V. R. Parreira, K. Cochrane, E. Allen-Vercoe
The paper investigates the drivers of human gut microbial community assembly, finding that stochasticity influences species structure while habitat filtering affects metabonomic output, and coadaptation leads to exclusion of saccharolytic Firmicutes.
