| Abstract | The human digestive tract contains complex communities of microbes that contribute to human health by facilitating nutrient metabolism and digestion, promoting immune function, and providing protection against pathogens. To provide these human health benefits, microbial communities must be able to colonize and persist in the human digestive tract. This project will analyze several factors that are important for assembly and stability of these communities, and will provide tools that the scientif |
