Methanogens are associated with altered microbial production of short-chain fatty acids and human-host metabolizable energy

2025-01-02

Abstract excerpt

Methanogens are CH 4 -producing, H 2 -oxidizing (i.e. hydrogenotrophic) archaea. Numerous studies have associated methanogens with obesity, but these results have been inconsistent. One link to host metabolism may be methanogens’ ability to consume H 2 , thus reducing H 2 partial pressure and thermodynamically enhancing fermentation of sugars to short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that the host can absorb. Because...
