A high-resolution spatial model of the primate gut microbiome defines niche-specific functions and host-adapted microbial metabolism
ABSTRACT The spatial organization of the gastrointestinal microbiome is shaped by strong physicochemical gradients along the gut, yet many region-associated microbial niches remain poorly resolved in humans. Here, we used the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) as a spatially resolved primate model to profile 148 luminal a...
