Ruminococcus: NCBI 1263, [genus]

| Ruminococcus| Ruminococcus Sijpesteijn 1948

1. Fermentation and Butyrate Production: Some Ruminococcus species are known to be involved in fermenting dietary fibers and complex carbohydrates that are not digested by the human host. This fermentation process results in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate. Butyrate is an important energy source for the cells lining the colon and plays a role in maintaining gut barrier integrity, reducing inflammation, and supporting gut health.

2. Gut Microbiota Balance: Ruminococcus species are part of the complex ecosystem of the gut microbiota. They contribute to maintaining a balanced and diverse microbial community, which is essential for overall gut health and proper immune function.

3. Fiber Metabolism: Certain Ruminococcus species possess enzymes that aid in the breakdown of complex plant-derived polysaccharides and fibers, contributing to the digestion and utilization of dietary fiber in the gut.

4. Impact on Metabolism: Some studies have suggested potential associations between the abundance of certain Ruminococcus species and metabolic health. However, the precise mechanisms and direct impacts on metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes require further investigation.

5. Potential Influence on Inflammatory Conditions: Changes in the abundance or diversity of Ruminococcus species have been observed in various inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, the specific role of Ruminococcus in these conditions and whether these alterations are causal or consequential is still being studied.

6. Potential Contribution to Disease States: While alterations in the abundance of certain Ruminococcus species have been observed in association with various diseases, their exact role in disease development or mitigation is not yet fully understood.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
