1. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It produces anti-inflammatory molecules, such as butyrate, which has been associated with maintaining the integrity of the gut barrier and reducing inflammation in the digestive tract.

2. Butyrate Production: Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that serves as a major energy source for colonocytes (cells lining the colon) and has protective effects on the gut mucosa. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is a significant butyrate producer through the fermentation of dietary fibers.

3. Correlation with Gut Health: Reduced levels of Faecalibacterium, particularly F. prausnitzii, have been observed in individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Low abundance of this bacterium has been associated with dysbiosis, which refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiota.

4. Metabolic Health: Some studies suggest that Faecalibacterium prausnitzii may play a role in metabolic health. Changes in its abundance have been associated with metabolic conditions, including obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, more research is needed to understand the specific mechanisms and implications.

5. Response to Diet: The abundance of Faecalibacterium, like many other gut bacteria, can be influenced by dietary factors. Diets rich in fibers and plant-based foods may support the growth of Faecalibacterium species.

• 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
