It’s so loosely defined and is regularly used to define something which in my eyes isn’t a SynCom. The discussion was also touching on whether the term itself is appropriate.18 Jun 2026 13:56 +0000at://did:plc:dtrpacd7qvbmd5l2mtmwym4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3moky7cb72c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/bcoltman.bsky.social/post/3me55omz4ac24Very excited about this, especially to work more closely with @patrickschimmel.bsky.social ! We will look at the establishment of gut and soil microbiomes following interventions through the lens of metabolic fluxes, and explore if there are shared principles of community assembly!
