The Effects of an Environmentally Relevant Level of Arsenic on the Gut Microbiome and Its Functional Metagenome

Abstract excerpt

Multiple environmental factors induce dysbiosis in the gut microbiome and cause a variety of human diseases. Previously, we have first demonstrated that arsenic alters the composition of the gut microbiome. However, the functional impact of arsenic on the gut microbiome has not been adequately assessed, particularly at environmentally relevant concentrations. In this study, we used 16S rRNA sequencing and...
