Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻‍💻🧬Simulations of your #gut may predict which #probiotics will stick
Commercial probiotics work for some people, one-size-fits-all approach hasn’t reliably benefited consumers. Instead, new simulations can predict whether a specific #bacteria strain will successfully take up residence in a person’s gut.
The simulations, called microbial community–scale metabolic models, are built on what scientists already know about how #gutbacteria eat and use food.
