Principles for engineering microbial composition and ecosystem functioning

2019-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Microbial probiotics are designed to improve functions in diverse ecosystems, yet probiotics often fail to have the desired beneficial effects. The introduction of probiotics to an environment with a preexisting microbiome is analogous to an invasion event, but is rarely considered in this light. Here, we tested the relative importance of propagule pressure (inoculation dose and frequency) compared to biotic inter...
