Quantitatively linking the composition and function of microbial communities is a major
aspiration of microbial ecology. Microbial community functions emerge from a complex web …

Microbial communities perform metabolic processes that sustain life on Earth and promote
human health. Microbial consortia sustain these functions in the face of constant structural …

Dietary fibre impacts the growth dynamics of human gut microbiota, yet we lack a detailed
and quantitative understanding of how these nutrients shape microbial interaction networks …

Microbiome engineering offers the potential to leverage microbial communities to improve
outcomes in human health, agriculture, and climate. To translate this potential into reality, it …

Characterizing the metabolic profile of a microbial community is crucial for understanding its
biological function and its impact on the host or environment. Metabolomics experiments …

Microbiomes interact dynamically with their environment to perform exploitable functions
such as production of valuable metabolites and degradation of toxic metabolites for a wide …

Microbial communities offer vast potential across numerous sectors but remain challenging
to systematically control. We develop a two-stage approach to guide the taxonomic …

Predicting interspecies interactions is a key challenge in microbial ecology given that
interactions shape the composition and functioning of microbial communities. However …

Engineering biology relies on the accurate prediction of cell responses. However, making
these predictions is challenging for a variety of reasons, including the stochasticity of …

Community assembly provides the foundation for applications in biodiversity conservation,
climate change, invasion, restoration and synthetic ecology. However, predicting and …
