Soil is a key factor influencing gut microbiota and its effect is comparable to that exerted by diet for mice

2018-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to an unsanitary environment increases the diversity and alters the composition of gut microbiota. To identify the key element in the unsanitary environment responsible for this phenomenon, we investigated the effect and the extent by which the soil in our environment influenced the composition of gut microbiota. Results show that adding unsterile or sterile soil to bedding, either before birth or after w...
