Orthogonal Dietary Niche Enables Reversible Engraftment of a Gut Bacterial Commensal

Summary: Interest in manipulating the gut microbiota to treat disease has led to a need for understanding how organisms can establish themselves when introduced into a host with an intact microbial community. Here, we employ the concept of orthogonal niche engineering: a resource typically absent fr...
