Parabacteroides merdae: NCBI 46503, [species]

  1. Gut microbiota composition: Parabacteroides species are commensal bacteria that inhabit the human gut microbiota, where they contribute to microbial community diversity and stability. They play important roles in the degradation of complex carbohydrates, fermentation of dietary fibers, and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate.

  2. Metabolic functions: Parabacteroides species are involved in various metabolic processes within the gut, including the metabolism of dietary components and host-derived molecules. They participate in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, releasing nutrients and energy for both themselves and other members of the gut microbiota. Additionally, Parabacteroides species can influence host metabolism and energy homeostasis through their production of SCFAs and other metabolites.

  3. Immune modulation: Parabacteroides species interact with the host immune system and can influence immune responses within the gut mucosa. While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, Parabacteroides species have been shown to regulate the development and function of immune cells, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs) and dendritic cells, which play crucial roles in maintaining immune tolerance and gut homeostasis.

  4. Disease associations: Changes in the abundance or composition of Parabacteroides species have been observed in various disease states, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), obesity, metabolic syndrome, and colorectal cancer. However, the specific role of Parabacteroides merdae in these conditions, if any, is not well-defined and requires further investigation.
