Niche partitioning facilitates coexistence of closely related honey bee gut bacteria

Niche partitioning facilitates coexistence of closely related honey bee gut bacteria

Ecological processes underlying bacterial coexistence in the gut are not well understood. Here, we disentangled the effect of the host and the diet on the coexistence of four closely related Lactobacillus species colonizing the honey bee gut. We serially passaged the four species through gnotobiotic...
