- Unravelling the effects of the environment and host genotype on the gut microbiome (2011, background): “Diet is one of the most important factors shaping microbial diversity in the gut, and its effect on the composition of the human microbial community is reviewed elsewher”
- Specificity of polysaccharide use in intestinal Bacteroides species determines diet-induced microbiota alterations (2010, positive): “The trillions of microbial cells that reside within the intestine shape aspects of host metabolism and immune function and extend the physiological definition of humans (Backhed et al., 2005; Hooper, 2009; Louis et al., 2007).”
- The Effect of Probiotics on the Production of Short-Chain Fatty Acids by Human Intestinal Microbiome (2020, background): “Acetic acid is the most abundant SCFAs in the colon, accounting for more than half of the total SCFAs found in feces [49].”
- The two mucus layers of colon are organized by the MUC2 mucin, whereas the outer layer is a legislator of host–microbial interactions (2010, background): “The bacteria use its high number of glycan hydrolytic enzymes to degrade polysaccharides and other glycoconjugates that come to the colon from food via the small intestine (41, 42).”
- Diversity, metabolism and microbial ecology of butyrate-producing bacteria from the human large intestine. (2009, background): “The butyryl-CoA : acetate CoA-transferase gene is not closely linked to the other butyrate pathway genes, but lies within a different genomic region in four human gut bacteria for which sequence information is currently available (Louis et al., 2007a).”
- Resistant Starches Types 2 and 4 Have Differential Effects on the Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Human Subjects (2010, background): “Dietary components that are resistant to human digestion are considered the most significant source of nutrients for colonic bacteria, and they thus offer a promising tool for the modulation of the gut microbiota [6].”
- Habitat degradation impacts black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) gastrointestinal microbiomes (2013, background): “A diverse host diet, such as that of the CR howlers, delivers a large array of nutrients and carbohydrate substrates to the gut thereby providing a variety of feeding niches to support a high diversity of microbial taxa or functional groups (Louis et al., 2007).”
- Metabolic modeling of species interaction in the human microbiome elucidates community-level assembly rules (2013, background): “For example, primary consumers of polysaccharides may compete over fiber such as cellulose (33), yet they also release oligosaccharides, which are consumed by other species (34).”
- Resistant starch: promise for improving human health. (2013, background): “These insights have led to a heightened interest in the role of the diet in modulation of GI microbiota as a means to improve host health (91,103,104) and a new awareness of how diet can contribute to disease (101,105).”
- Interactions between gut microbiota and host metabolism predisposing to obesity and diabetes. (2011, background): “Butyrate is the preferred source of energy for colonic epithelial cells, where it is converted to ketone bodies or oxidized to carbon dioxide (31).”
