Probiotics, gut microbiota, and their influence on host health and disease (2017, background): “(in breast-fed infants) are noteworthy due to their high relative abundance, and indeed each and every one of us harbors several grams of one or more of these bacterial genera [9, 15].”

A Phylogenomic View of Ecological Specialization in the Lachnospiraceae, a Family of Digestive Tract-Associated Bacteria (2014, background): “Two enzymes allow for the production of butyric acid: butyrate kinase (from Butanoyl-P) (Walter et al. 1993) and 706 Genome Biol.”
Intestinal Short Chain Fatty Acids and their Link with Diet and Human Health (2016, background): “A microbial bias regarding butyrate and propionate producers occurs with some of these models (Van Den Abbeele et al., 2010), that could be alleviated by incorporating a simulation of the intestinal mucosa surface (Van Den Abbeele et al., 2013a).”
