Honor thy symbionts
Open accessAbstract
Our intestine is the site of an extraordinarily complex and dynamic environmentally transmitted consortial symbiosis. The molecular foundations of beneficial symbiotic host-bacterial relationships in the gut are being revealed in part from studies of simplified models of this ecosystem, where germ-free mice are colonized with specified members of the microbial community, and in part from comparisons of the genomes of members of the intestinal microbiota. The results emphasize the contributions of symbionts to postnatal gut development and host physiology, as well as the remarkable strategies these microorganisms have evolved to sustain their alliances. These points are illustrated by the human-Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron symbiosis. Interdisciplinary studies of the effects of the intestinal environment on genome structure and function should provide important new insights about how microbes and humans have coevolved mutually beneficial relationships and new perspectives about the foundations of our health.

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.
