Dietary <i>S. maltophilia</i> promotes fat storage by enhancing lipogenesis and ER-LD contacts in <i>C. elegans</i>
2020-04-30
Abstract excerpt
Dietary and symbiotic bacteria can exert powerful influence on metazoan lipid metabolism. Here, we demonstrate that feeding Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) with the opportunistic pathogenic bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) retards growth and promotes excessive fat storage. Gene expression analysis reveals that dietary S. maltophilia induces a lipogenic transcriptional response that inc...
