TGFβ/BMP immune signaling affects abundance and function of C. elegans gut commensals

Host genetics modulates gut microbiota composition, which in turn affects host health, but little is known about the specific genes involved. Here, Berg et al. show that TGFβ/BMP immune signalling affects abundance and function of commensal Enterobacter species in C. elegans.
