To further our understanding of how intestinal bacterial communities assemble and function, we study the C. elegans microbiota with a bottom-up approach by feeding this nematode with bacterial monocultures as well as mixtures of two to eight bacterial species. We find that bacteria colonizing well in monoculture do n
