Assessing microbiome engraftment extent following fecal microbiota transplant with q2-fmt

We present q2-fmt, a QIIME 2 plugin that provides diverse methods for assessing the extent of microbiome engraftment following fecal microbiota transplant. The methods implemented here were informed by a recent literature review on approaches for assessing FMT engraftment, and cover aspects of engraftment including Chimeric Asymmetric Community Coalescence, Donated Microbiome Indicator Features, and Temporal Stability. q2-fmt is free for all use, and detailed documentation illustrating worked examples on a real-world data set are provided in the project's documentation.

Upcycling Human Excrement: The Gut Microbiome to Soil Microbiome Axis

Human excrement composting (HEC) is a sustainable strategy for human excrement (HE) management that recycles nutrients and mitigates health risks while reducing reliance on freshwater, fossil fuels, and fertilizers. We present a comprehensive microbial time series analysis of HEC and show that the initial gut-like microbiome of HEC systems transitions to a microbiome similar to soil and traditional compost in fifteen biological replicates tracked weekly for one year.
