Bioactive metabolites mediate interactions between hosts and their microbiomes, often to improve the fitness of the holobionts. However, the mechanistic basis of these interactions and their contributions to fitness are poorly understood owing to their multifaceted nature. Finally, recent studies integrating metabolomics with genomic and functional data are beginning to fill this gap.
