Fecal virome addition promotes biofilm biomass and produces distinct bacterial responses in biofilm and planktonic communities in an in vitro colon model

The gut microbiota is spatially organized, but microorganisms at the intestinal mucus surface remain understudied in virome microbiota research. Here, we investigated how fecal virome addition affects biofilm biomass and bacterial composition in surface-attached and planktonic communities using a biofilm-adapted in vitro colon model, CoMiniGut. Fecal samples were collected from three healthy…
