well as improvement of the immune system.

The way that these bacteria are identified from the fecal samples is through 16s Ribosomal RNA sequencing or shotgun sequencing (genome of all microorganisms), which identifies the sequences of the microbiome and can be references to libraries for identification. Shotgun sequencing taxes the advantage when looking at the microbiome as a whole and trying to find changes within the taxa that are not as abundant, while 16s is beneficial to hone in and detect a specific part of the microbiome thus
