Decoupled Nutrient Status: a framework to disentangle host from microbial responses to diets that vary in digestibility Emily M. Venable and Rachel N. Carmody

Decoupled Nutrient Status: a framework to disentangle host from microbial responses to diets that vary in digestibility Emily M. Venable* and Rachel N. Carmody* Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, Nutritional and Microbial Ecology Lab, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, United States Diet shapes the gut microbiome, which in turn influences host phenotype. Accordingly, there is much interest in leveraging diet to modulate gut microbial communities and host biology. However, recent...
