Abstract

Across diverse taxa, the composition of the microbiota is associated with host fitness. A mechanistic understanding of how microbial communities influence host physiology could lead to microbiota-based interventions for lifelong health. Here, we have developed a host-microbiota model system consisting of the model organism

Research summary

The paper claims that a specific microbial community can alter mitochondrial morphology and improve age-related motor function. This research is relevant as it explores the potential of microbiota to influence fundamental aspects of aging and host physiology, which could lead to interventions aimed at promoting longevity.
