Optimization of probiotic therapeutics using machine learning in an artificial human gastrointestinal tract
Abstract The gut microbiota’s metabolome is composed of bioactive metabolites that confer disease resilience. Probiotics’ therapeutic potential hinges on their metabolome altering ability; however, characterizing probiotics’ metabolic activity remains a formidable task. In order to solve this proble...
