Lachnospira: NCBI 28050, [genus]

Back to details

| Lachnospira| Lachnospira Bryant and Small 1956

1. Fermentation and Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production: Like many other bacteria in the gut, Lachnospira species are involved in the fermentation of dietary fibers. This fermentation process leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate. SCFAs are known to have various health benefits, including serving as an energy source for colonocytes (cells lining the colon) and contributing to the maintenance of gut barrier function.

2. Gut Microbiota Composition: Lachnospira is part of the diverse microbial community within the human gut. The composition of the gut microbiota, including the abundance of Lachnospira, can be influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics.

3. Metabolic Health: Changes in the abundance of Lachnospira and other bacterial taxa in the gut microbiota have been associated with metabolic conditions, including obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, the relationship between specific species of Lachnospira and metabolic health is complex, and more research is needed to understand the specific mechanisms and implications.

4. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD): Alterations in the abundance of Lachnospira have been reported in individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The role of Lachnospira in the development or progression of IBD is still an area of investigation.

5. Response to Diet: The abundance of Lachnospira in the gut microbiota can be influenced by dietary factors. Diets rich in fiber and plant-based foods may support the growth of Lachnospira species.

6. Immune System Interactions: Lachnospira and other gut bacteria can interact with the host immune system. The gut microbiota, including Lachnospira, plays a role in educating and modulating the immune response.

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
