Prophage Integration in relation to Body Mass Index-Related Gut Microbiome and Microbial Metabolism
2026-08-12
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiome is associated with host metabolism and anthropometrics. Bacteriophages infect and lyse bacterial cells but may also support them by providing beneficial genes. It remains elusive whether this mechanism impacts the human host. Here, we systematically investigated gut virome differences between adolescents with a normal vs. high body mass index (BMI) using viral metagenomes (viromes) and bulk meta...
