Running after ghosts: are dead bacteria the dark matter of the human gut microbiota?

1 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

The human gut microbiota has been explored by a wide range of culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, revealing that many microbes remain uncharacterized and uncultured. In this work, we aimed to confirm the hypothesis that some of the species present in the human gut microbiota remain uncultured not because of culture limitations, but because all members of such species are dead before reaching the...
