Hi Is it possible use models other than AGORA models to fulfill metagenomic taxonomies models in MicrobiomeModelingToolbox? If possible, what conditions required for extra models?

Hi The use of other models is in principle possible (even if never tested) for some of the functions of the Microbiome Modeling Toolbox. However, for setting diet constraints, and many other functions models with VMH (https://vmh.life) abbreviations are required. I would suggest using models with VMH abbreviations.
