Sequential host-bacteria and bacteria-bacteria interactions determine the microbiome establishment of Nematostella vectensis

Abstract Background The microbiota of multicellular organisms undergoes considerable changes during host ontogeny but the general mechanisms that control community assembly and succession are poorly understood. Here, we use bacterial recolonization experiments in Nematostella vectensis as a model to...
