Postdoctoral researcher in bonobo gut and vaginal microbiomes 🐵🦠 | microbiome stability & transmission | University of Antwerp & Zoo Antwerp
Happy to see one of the final chapters of my PhD out now! 🐵🦠 We identified key covariates of the bonobo gut microbiome, including ecology, diet, transit time, social interactions and maternal vertical transmission within a large cohort of wild and zoo-housed bonobos.

A comprehensive atlas of the bonobo gut bacteriome and its associated host and exposome factors
This resource encompasses 644 gut bacteriome profiles from 212 wild and zoo-housed bonobos with associated data on 104 host and exposome factors. Leveraging this resource, Torfs et al. reveal key influential factors of the bonobo gut bacteriome, such as lifestyle, diet, maternal kinship, and a strong effect of social contact.
