The impact of nutrient load variation on the human gut microbiome
A recently introduced quantitative framework for gut microbiota analysis indicated that microbial load alterations can be linked to various diseases, making it essential to pinpoint its determinants. We identified nutrient load as a main driver of the quantitative microbial community composition and functionality in vitro by stepwise decreasing standardised feed concentrations from 100% to 33, 20 and 10% in five-day intervals.
