I certainly hope they are going to replicate while knocking out one species of gut biota each time. Would be super helpful right?
Edit: Experiemental design
we establish indvidual colonies of each of the biota detected in our earlier work, we then recombine them in the ratios found in the original work and replicate the previous results.
We then creation combinations lacking a single organism from our mix and look for replication.
Finally we vary the percentages of the biota in our origianal mix and look to see if that affects our ability to replicate.
