New method to identify keystone microbial species
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Keystone species, which are thought to exist in low abundance in microbial communities, are thought to have a disproportionate impact on community stability. It can be difficult to identify these keystone species, especially in the human gut, because systematic eradication cannot be utilised
