CeMbio - The C. elegans microbiome resource

P. Dirksen, A. Assie, J. Zimmermann, F. Zhang, A.-M. Tietje, S. A. Marsh, M.-A. Felix, M. Shapira, C. Kaleta, H. Schulenburg, B. S. Samuel

The paper introduces CeMbio, a simplified natural microbiota for C. elegans, enabling causal studies of host-microbiome interactions through a resource with culturable strains and associated tools.

Neutrality in the Metaorganism

M. Sieber, L. Pita, N. Weiland-Bräuer, P. Dirksen, J. Wang, B. Mortzfeld, S. Franzenburg, R. A. Schmitz, J. F. Baines, S. Fraune, U. Hentschel, H. Schulenburg, T. C. G. Bosch, A. Traulsen

This study shows that microbiota community structure across various host organisms aligns with neutral model predictions, suggesting neutral processes rather than host selection primarily shape microbial communities after colonization.
