title = "EcoFABs: advancing microbiome science through standardized fabricated ecosystems",
abstract = "Microbiomes play critical roles in ecosystems and human health, yet in most cases scientists lack standardized and reproducible model microbial communities. The development of fabricated microbial ecosystems, which we term EcoFABs, will provide such model systems for microbiome studies.",
