Bilophila: NCBI 35832, [genus]

Back to details

| Bilophila| Bilophila Baron et al. 1990

1. Bilophila wadsworthia: One well-known species within the Bilophila genus is Bilophila wadsworthia. This bacterium is known for its ability to produce hydrogen sulfide during the metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds. Hydrogen sulfide is a gas with potential effects on the gut environment and has been associated with both positive and negative health implications.

2. Associations with Diet: Some studies have suggested that the abundance of Bilophila wadsworthia in the gut may be influenced by dietary factors. For example, its abundance has been observed to increase in response to a diet rich in animal fats.

3. Implications in Inflammatory Conditions: Bilophila wadsworthia has been studied in the context of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colitis. It has been associated with the exacerbation of colitis in animal models, and its presence may influence the inflammatory response in the gut.

4. Hydrogen Sulfide Production: The production of hydrogen sulfide by Bilophila wadsworthia can have both beneficial and detrimental effects. While low levels of hydrogen sulfide play roles in normal cellular functions, excessive production can be toxic and has been implicated in inflammatory and oxidative stress.
