  "summary": "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…",
