Microbial conversation for the host health
The aim of the WP3 is to uncover consequences of host-microbiome interactions induced by diet/environmental conditions for nutrition and health of eukaryotic host such as mouse, pig, or a fungus. Besides local processes, the effects will be studied of animal gut microbiome composition on epithelial barrier function and distal organs such as brain, and on the development and functioning of the mammalian immune system. Using gnotobiotic experimental models allows for precise control over the microbiome composition/activity, provides unique opportunity to establish causal links between putative signalling compounds identified in WP1, delivered via vehicles developed in WP2, and the broad eco-evolutionary context (further elaborated in WP4).
