A spatially structured mathematical model of the gut microbiome reveals factors that increase community stability

Summary: Given the importance of gut microbial communities for human health, we may want to ensure their stability in terms of species composition and function. Here, we built a mathematical model of a simplified gut composed of two connected patches where species and metabolites can flow from an up...
