I also enjoyed the positive reaction in the room at #cshlmbiome to our "succinotypes", recently published in BMC Microbiome from the pharmabiome.com team (doi.org/10.1186/s401...). The bimodal partitioning of the succinate consumer guild never ceases to amaze me. Summary: bsky.app/profile/gabe...

Histogram showing the distribution of the relative abundances ratio of Dialister to Phascolarctobacterium. The distribution is strongly bimodal, with most of the probablility mass at either 0 or 1.

I'm excited to share the most recent work from the pharmabiome.com team, introducing the notion of 'succinotypes' in human gut microbiota. These correspond to the identity of the bacterial taxon that occupies the succinate consumption niche.

What pleasure to participate at #cshlmbiome last week! The science was really excellent—deep thinkers that are going after mechanisms in microbiomes and not just descriptive associations. It's what we need to move the translational field forward.

Stratification of human gut microbiomes by succinotype is associated with inflammatory bowel disease...
