Outbred CD1 mouse colonies with stable, complex gut microbial profiles were produced to be used as donors for a variety of GM transfer techniques. Cohorts of these developed colonies were send to collaborating institutions, one of which uses Optimice caging. Keywords: Gnotobiotic, Microbiome, Gut Microbiota, Optimice, CD-1, Mice, Mouse.
