Enjoy your adventure. Davis seems an odd place for building an anaerobic culturing facility.

So, the company I work for has no real lab space of its own, but has a collaboration with the Swiss Institute of Allergy & Asthma Research, which is located out here—so I'm set up in an anaerobic chamber in the basement lol

Not a bad place to be to be honest! How is it going? Miss your writing!

Have you tried to engraft Epulopiscium into your own biome?

Wikipedia & some other sources seem to use a 'Epulonipiscium' spelling instead, for the same microbes. Acceptable variant, or wrong/disfavored?

Alas, I don't see it as something tested-for in the TinyHealth shotgun-sequencing biome reports.
