    Conceptual schematic of C-MAIKI’s approach to address pressing questions in microbiome research by evaluating synergy (red arrows) among environmental microbiota and their hosts—from free-living to symbiotic lifestyles—leveraging the unique and replicable gradients across Hawaiian watersheds—from mountain (terrestrial) to sea (marine) habitats. Recognizing that microbes underpin the healthy function of all multicellular life, this synergistic cross-disciplinary approach allows us to address what environments act as reservoirs for symbiotic microbes when they are outside the host and how we can manage our environments to promote and maintain healthy microbial partnerships.
