The meta-gut: community coalescence of animal gut and environmental microbiomes
Scientific Reports, 2021 All animals carry specialized microbiomes, and their gut microbiota are continuously released into the environment through excretion of waste. Here we propose the meta-gut as a novel conceptual framework that addresses the ability of the gut microbiome ...
