Methanobacteriaceae Details: NCBI 2159, gram-negative or unknown [family]

| Methanobacteriaceae| Methanobacteriaceae Barker 1956

  1. Methane Production in the Gut: Methanobacteriaceae, specifically methanogenic archaea, are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and other animals. They play a role in the final stages of anaerobic digestion, where they convert hydrogen and carbon dioxide produced by other microbes into methane. Methane production in the gut is a normal part of microbial fermentation during digestion.

  2. Gut Microbiota: Methanobacteriaceae is part of the complex community of microorganisms in the human gut microbiota. The gut microbiota has been recognized for its crucial role in various aspects of health, including digestion, metabolism, and immune function.

  3. Associations with Gastrointestinal Conditions: Elevated levels of methane in the breath have been associated with certain gastrointestinal conditions. For example, increased methane production has been correlated with conditions such as constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). However, the relationship between methane levels and specific health conditions is complex and may vary among individuals.

  4. Methane as a Biomarker: Measurement of methane levels in breath tests is sometimes used as a diagnostic tool in clinical settings. Breath methane levels can be associated with the activity of methanogenic archaea in the gut and may provide insights into certain gastrointestinal conditions.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
