Diet outperforms microbial transplant to drive microbiome recovery in mice - Nature
Experiments in mouse models show that proper recovery of the intestinal microbiota following depletion, with or without faecal microbiota transplant therapy, is dependent on syntrophic interactions that occur only with specific dietary interventions.

Today we publish an (in my opinion) important paper in
@naturemicrobiol.bsky.social 🍾 showing that gut physiology and environment are factors explaining substantial variations in human gut #microbiome composition and #metabolism🦠
Fantastic work Procházková et al. 👏
