New online! Next-generation probiotics: an outlook into current applications and future developments
Very excited to share our new paper out in Nature. Congrats to Xiaoqian (Annie) Yu and all the coauthors. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
So if you have some metabolomics data from the bee gut or know their "diet" you could set something up that should work.
The microbe part would not be the issue. There are many tools to build the models like used in that paper and we have pipelines too. The difficulty with other systems is knowing which metabolites are present in the intestinal environment.
Interesting article by Glass et al. on using metabolic modeling to find new antibiotics for the vaginal microbiome.
I like how all the p-values are like 10^-300. Take that power analysis.
Microbial communities can harbor many species that do not coexist in pairs, yet can coexist in the full community. Here we provide the mathematical foundations of emergent coexistence, and explain why it can't be predicted from pairwise tests journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

How every layer of science's "self-correcting machinery" failed when Iva Veseli and I simply wanted to reproduce the findings of a high-profile study on gut microbiome and autism:
