Hydrodynamic flow and concentration gradients in the gut enhance neutral bacterial diversity

2021-05-16

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiota features important genetic diversity, and the specific spatial features of the gut may shape evolution within this environment. We investigate the fixation probability of neutral bacterial mutants within a minimal model of the gut that includes hydrodynamic flow and resulting gradients of food and bacterial concentrations. We find that this fixation probability is substantially increased compare...
