1. 1. The effect of imperfect resource conversion and recurring perturbations on byproduct cross- feeding chains in digital communities

   Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Filippa Frejborg; [2021]
   Nyckelord :byproduct cross-feeding; cross-feeding interactions; digital evolution; digital organisms; gut microbiome; recurring perturbations; resource conversion;

   Sammanfattning : The gut microbiome plays a vital role in human health. Disturbances of this microbial system is associated with diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. In populations of microbial species, many organisms partake in byproduct cross-feeding interactions, where byproducts from one organism are consumed by other microbes. LÄS MER

3. 2. Effects of recurring perturbations on byproduct cross-feeding chain lengths in a digital microbiome

   Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Johanna Schwarz; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Avida; byproduct chains; cross-feeding; digital evolution; human gut-microbiome; temporal disturbance.;

   Sammanfattning : The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem with hundreds of species interacting with each other and the host. One function of the microbiome is to break down undigested nutrients into smaller nutrients, sometimes available for uptake by the host. LÄS MER

4. 3. Recurring perturbations limit the length of byproduct cross-feeding chains in digital communities

   Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Johanna Orsholm; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Byproduct; Cross-feeding; Digital evolution; Gut microbiome;

   Sammanfattning : The human gut microbiome is important for health and development, and understanding its functioning and dynamics are of great medical importance. The microbiome food web is largely characterized by chains of byproduct cross-feeding (where metabolites of one organism are used as nutrients for another), yet a recent study have shown that the average length of the chains are considerably shorter than what metabolic capabilities of present species allow for.
