Human gut microbiota is essential for human health. Under the recent avalanche of metagenomic high-throughput sequencing data methods for its bioinformatic analysis and ecological reconstruction gain particular relevance. In this study, we employ the trait-based ecology approach to create a method of computer reconstruction of the ecological structure of intestinal microbiota communities based on high-throughput sequencing data and apply it to the synthetic community comprised of the key representatives of the human gut microbiota. Using this structure allowed us to evaluate the abundance of respective functional groups and infer a knowledge about the processes associated with them. The developed method can be applied to analyze intestinal microbial communities of other related species.
Thank you for the interesting idea. You are taking in consideration fiber diet, but is it approach applicable for water quality analysis? I mean that in experiments you fix the diet and changes only water quality (different water pollution)
Thank you for the interesting question. Yes, we can use water quality changes for analysis. But I’m not sure that this can give interesting results, because we selected functional groups in such a way as to analyze changes in the diet. However, for an accurate answer to this question, we should try to provide such an analysis.
