Abstract:

Blastocystis is the most prevalent protist of the human gut microbiome, yet its metabolic and ecological roles are largely unknown. This project investigates how Blastocystis metabolizes nutrients and engages in microbial interactions that shape gut community structure. By uncovering the mechanistic basis of these processes, this research will advance fundamental understanding of microbial eukaryotes in host-associated ecosystems.
