Which outcome reduces nutrient absorption in herbivores with limited gut flora diversity?

💡 Explanation

Reduced diversity hinders fiber digestion because the *syntrophic metabolism* of gut flora supports cellulase production, therefore inhibiting its production lowers cellulose breakdown rather than changing gut structure or increasing contraction otherwise improving the metabolic efficiency of the smaller microbiome colonies.
