This Perspective explores why microbiome members perform partial metabolism of substrates and suggests that proteome efficiency is a driver of collective microbiome metabolism.

Impressive.

Key take homes for me.
1) Time to result still long - addressable but a barrier currently.
2) 10% contamination.
3) Despite using cutting edge tests a "causative" organism found in only 15%.

Hello, Bluesky! I'm Annabel, a PhD student in the Tartu Microbiome group led by Prof. Elin Org at the University of Tartu (EE).

I am interested in the long-term effects of medications on the gut microbiome and early-life microbiome development.

I also like photography, sci-fi, and crocheting 🌿
