The diet of a typical child living in this village is largely lacking in fats and animal proteins and rich in polysaccharides and plant proteins. The fecal bacteria of European children were dominated by Firmicutes and showed a marked reduction in biodiversity, while the fecal bacteria of the Boulpon children was dominated by Bacteroidetes. The ...
Changing from a carbohydrate diet to various protein-rich diets may lead to weight loss, reduced body fat, and rapid changes in gut microbiome composition, a study in mice indicates.
Studies indicate that long-term diet is strongly associated with the gut microbiome composition—those who eat a higher proportion of protein and animal fats have predominantly Bacteroides bacteria, while for those who consume more carbohydrates or fiber the Prevotella species dominate. [10] One of the most important clinically is Bacteroides ...
Graphic depicting the human skin microbiota, with relative prevalences of various classes of bacteria. The human microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the corresponding anatomical sites in which they reside, [1] [2] including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, mammary glands, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung ...
The microbiome is another term for microbiota or can refer to the collected genomes. Many of these microorganisms interact with the host in ways that are beneficial and often play an integral role in processes like digestion and immunity. [ 1 ]
Microbiota include bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, and viruses, [2] [3] and have been found to be crucial for immunologic, hormonal, and metabolic homeostasis of their host. The term microbiome describes either the collective genomes of the microbes that reside in an ecological niche or else the microbes themselves. [4] [5] [6]
Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce.Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics.
