1. Dietary Fiber Fermentation:

   • Bacteroidales are known for their ability to break down complex carbohydrates and ferment dietary fibers in the colon. This process results in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. SCFAs have several health benefits, including serving as an energy source for colonocytes, promoting gut barrier integrity, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

2. Immune System Modulation:

   • Some members of Bacteroidales can interact with the host's immune system, influencing immune responses in the gut. These interactions may contribute to immune tolerance and the prevention of inappropriate inflammatory reactions.

3. Metabolic Effects:

   • Bacteroidales play a role in the metabolism of various compounds, including bile acids and other metabolites. This can have implications for metabolic health and may influence lipid metabolism.

4. Protein Metabolism:

   • Certain species within Bacteroidales are involved in the metabolism of proteins. This process can produce various byproducts, including potentially harmful substances such as ammonia and amines. The balance of protein metabolism in the gut is important for overall health.

5. Pathogenic Potential:

   • While many Bacteroidales species are commensal and beneficial, some can have pathogenic potential. Certain strains may be associated with infections, and their overgrowth or dysregulation could contribute to disease.

6. Gut Microbiota Composition:

   • Changes in the abundance and diversity of Bacteroidales have been associated with various health conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), obesity, and metabolic disorders. The balance of Bacteroidales with other bacterial groups is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut microbiota.

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
