Microbial communities in the human small intestine: coupling diversity to metagenomics.

Future microbiology - 1 Jun 2007

Booijink Carien C G M, Zoetendal Erwin G, Kleerebezem Michiel, de Vos Willem M

Abstract excerpt

The gastrointestinal tract is the main site where the conversion and absorption of food components takes place. The host-derived physiological processes and the residing microorganisms, especially in the small intestine, contribute to this nutrient supply. To circumvent sampling problems of the small intestine, several model systems have been developed to study microbial diversity and functionality in the small...
