    摘要、提要註: We previously proposed that colonizing strains of c likely occupy specific niches as minimal members of mixed biofilms formed primarily by anaerobic members of the gut flora. These "restaurants" formed by the different community members of the gut provide individual strains of E. coli with various unique binding pockets and locally provided mono- and disaccharides by breaking down polysaccharides which facultative anaerobes, such as E. coli, could not break down on their own. This allows strains of E. coli that cannot grow as efficiently on available sugars to colonize if they are able to occupy niches that other competing strains could not. For example, if the less efficient strain could bind better to specific anaerobic members or had a higher tolerance for bile salts it would be able to co-colonize with a strain that could grow better on available sugars as it would not be in direct competition to occupy the same niche. While the anaerobes in mixed biofilms provide a source of nutrients for minimal members such as E. coli through breakdown of large polysaccharides, the facultative anaerobes may improve the environment for strict anaerobes by reducing the concentration of oxygen within the biofilms. Oxygen diffuses from surrounding tissue into the intestines, oxygen from swallowed air is present in flatus, and at least one predominant anaerobe in the gut microbiome, Bacteroides fragilis, respires oxygen at low concentrations. As such, manuscript I looks at how colonization with specific strains of E. coli can affect the development of the intestinal microbiota. Five representative E. coli strains were used for this study: Nissle 1917, EDL933, MG1655, and two MG1655 mutants selected by the mouse gut (envZP41L and flhDC). While slight variances were observed between strains, these were likely due to differences between hosts rather than the colonizing E. coli and no significant differences between the communities could be surmised.
