Metabolic diversity of the intestinal microbiota: implications for health and disease.

The Journal of nutrition - 1 Mar 2007

Blaut Michael, Clavel Thomas

Abstract excerpt

The bacteria colonizing the human intestinal tract exhibit a high phylogenetic diversity that reflects their immense metabolic potential. By virtue of their catalytic activity, the human gut micro-organisms have an impact on gastrointestinal function and host health. All dietary components that escape digestion in the small intestine are potential substrates of the bacteria in the colon. The bacterial conversion...
