Human dietary choices control the gut microbiome. Industrialized populations consume abundant glucose and fructose, resulting in microbe-dependent intestinal disorders. Simple sugars inhibit the carbohydrate utilization regulator (Cur), a transcription factor in the prominent gut bacterial phylum, .

Deep learning excels at cryo-tomographic image restoration and segmentation tasks but is hindered by a lack of training data. Here we introduce cryo-TomoSim (CTS), a MATLAB-based software package that builds coarse-grained models of macromolecular complexes embedded in vitreous ice and then simulates transmitted electron tilt series for tomographic reconstruction. We then demonstrate the effectiveness of these simulated datasets in training different deep learning models for use on real cryotomographic reconstructions.
