They took leaves from a closely related wild that plant was healthy and contained a typical mix of endophytes, blended them into a smoothie and sprayed the mixture onto the leaves of P. kaalaensis to see if
beneficial microbes could be transplanted from one species to another.
Walker and the authors note that a well - tested «next - generation probiotic» consisting of known
beneficial microbes delivered as a pill or other therapy could take the place of fresh feces, and this mouse system provides a way to identify the most effective bacteria, the diseases those bacteria can treat, and whether a particular diet is necessary.
The ideal approach, then, will often be to engineer the kind of landscape that
beneficial microbes naturally flock to.
