A coarse-grained consumer-resource model calibrated on 41 human gut microbiomes suggests the gut ecosystem is organized into about four trophic levels with 90% of nutrients passed on as byproducts, and predicts fecal metabolome composition from metagenomes.

Evidence for a multi-level trophic organization of the human gut microbiome
A coarse-grained consumer-resource model calibrated on 41 human gut microbiomes suggests the gut ecosystem is organized into about four trophic levels with 90% of nutrients passed on as byproducts, and predicts fecal metabolome composition from metagenomes.
