Gut bacterial nutrient preferences quantified in vivo
2022-01-26
Abstract excerpt
Great progress has been made in understanding gut microbiome’s products and their effects on health and disease. Less attention, however, has been given to the inputs that gut bacteria consume. Here we quantitatively examine inputs and outputs of the mouse gut microbiome, using isotope tracing. The main input to microbial carbohydrate fermentation is dietary fiber, and to branched-chain fatty acids and aromatic me...
