Abstract

Significance: Animals form functional unities with communities of microbes. Often, these bacterial communities are highly specific to host species and resemble host phylogeny. But which factors determine community membership? Which host-factors are capable of selecting suitable bacteria by inhibiting colonization by potential foreign colonizers? In this study, we show that animals express a species-specific repertoire of antimicrobial peptides, which supports and maintains a species-specific bacterial community. Loss-of-function experiments showed that antimicrobial peptide composition is a predictor for bacterial colonization.

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.
