Good morning! Today has a great nature paper on bacterial metabolic crossfeeding that can result in altered egg laying and reproducing behaviour, and additionally a paper showing how bacterial probiotics induce anergy in mice with Cow’s Milk allergy.

General microbiome

Metabolic cross-feeding in imbalanced diets allows gut microbes to improve reproduction and alter host behaviour, Henriques et al, Nature.

Vaginal microbiota

Glycan cross-feeding supports mutualism between Fusobacterium and the vaginal microbiota, Agarwal et al, PLOS biology.

Human gut microbiome
