Figure 1 The Route toward Targeted Microbiome Modulation Entails Three Consecutive and Mutually Dependent Lines of Investigation A “parts list” of the microbiome’s structure and function has now been mostly established, and metagenome-wide association studies (MWASs) have identified important co-variates of microbiome composition (see Figure 2). At the same time, longitudinal studies have started to provide important insights into the microbiome’s intrinsic dynamics. Taken together, these provide first cues toward a functional understanding of the gut microbiome. Perturbation experiments can significantly extend this, while also providing insights into the microbiome’s ecological dynamics—the “wiring” of the system in terms of interactions between its parts. An integrated functional understanding will be essential toward translating microbiome research into targeted modulations, with dedicated benefits for the human host.

Figure 2 Microbiome Composition Is Associated to Several Known Co-variates Microbiome-extrinsic factors can be empirically classified into three categories: host-intrinsic, host-extrinsic, and environmental. Moreover, microbiome state feeds back upon itself and thereby contributes to compositional variation between individuals. Clearly, these categories overlap, and many factors are also associated to each other. For example, diet contains microbes from environmental strain pools which may colonize the gut or even, in the case of food poisoning, trigger a shift into a diseased microbiome state that subsequently becomes entrenched intrinsically, but also prompts medication. In practice, it is therefore challenging to disentangle the effect size of individual factors, and it is often necessary to stratify for other co-variates, in particular also for microbiome state (see Box 3). Indeed, the overall effect of known co-variates on human gut microbiome variation is surprisingly small (Box 1).

Figure 3 Microbiome Research Advances Rapidly, but Current Approaches Abstract the Gut Microbiome via Gradual Approximations from Different Angles A few of these access routes are depicted and categorized here, and the required level of abstraction may vary between scientific questions or study designs. (A) Microbial composition is usually determined at genus level based on 16S rRNA amplicon data, although many features in association studies emerge at higher resolution. More recently, the focus shifts further to reach the level of strains, the preferred taxonomic unit in microbiology. (B) Functional associations are often determined for entire functional classes or more fine-grained functional units, although even individual genes can be informative in some contexts. (C) Microbiome associations have been tested at the level of entire populations or of certain cohorts, though it is becoming increasingly clear that stratification is often necessary to increase observed signals. In some instances, associations are specific even at the level of individuals. (D) For experimental access, simpler systems allow for higher throughput, but they are also less representative of the microbiome in natura, i.e., in humans with an individual environment.
