Das Oligo-MM-Modell in der Darmmikrobiomforschung

The mammalian gut microbiome is a dynamic and complex community of microorganisms that provides its host with a number of health benefits. Understanding the key factors that shape community composition, stability and ecology is essential to maintain or establish a functional microbiome. Studying the ecology of synthetic model communities, like the Oligo-Mouse-Microbiota (OMM12) consortium, can help to elucidate mechanisms of inter-bacterial and host-bacterial interactions that shape microbiome function.
