Modeling metabolism of the human gut microbiome
Open accessAbstract
The human gut microbiome plays an important part in human health. The complexity of the microbiome makes it difficult to determine the detailed metabolic functions and cross-talk occurs between the individual species. In silico systems biology studies of the microbiome can help to identify metabolite exchanges among gut microbes. Constraint-based reconstruction and analysis methods use biochemically accurate genome-scale metabolic networks of microorganisms to simulate metabolism between species in a given microbiome and help generate novel hypotheses on microbial interactions. Here, we review metabolic modeling studies that have investigated metabolic functions of the gut microbiome.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
