1. Rumen Bacteria:

   • Butyrivibrio hungatei is a species of bacteria found in the rumen, a specialized compartment of the stomach in herbivores. In the rumen, microbial fermentation aids in the digestion of plant materials.

2. Fermentation:

   • Butyrivibrio hungatei, like other members of its genus, is involved in the fermentation of dietary fibers and complex carbohydrates. This fermentation process produces volatile fatty acids, including butyrate, which is an important energy source for the host animal.

3. Limited Information on Human Health:

   • While Butyrivibrio hungatei is primarily associated with the digestive systems of herbivores, there is limited information available on its direct impact on human health. Many bacteria found in the digestive tracts of animals are not necessarily pathogenic to humans.

4. Potential Impact on Animal Health:

   • The health of animals, particularly ruminants like cattle and sheep, can be influenced by the composition and activity of their rumen microbiota. However, specific health impacts may vary based on factors such as diet, overall microbial community composition, and animal physiology.

5. Butyrate Production:

   • Butyrivibrio species are known for their ability to produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid. Butyrate has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its role as an energy source for colonocytes and its anti-inflammatory properties.

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
