The differing prevalences of propionate and butyrate-producing bacteria in the human gut microbiota

Abstract excerpt

Propionate and butyrate are major fermentation products released during the anaerobic growth of bacteria in the large intestine with strong implications on host health. While the different metabolic pathways leading to the release of these products are biochemically well characterized, less is known about their relative abundances across hosts and conditions. Here, we introduce a bioinformatics pipeline which conn...
