1. Gut Microbiota Composition:

   • Bacteroides caccae is one of the numerous species that contribute to the overall composition of the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota is a complex community of microorganisms that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune system regulation.

2. Fermentation and Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production:

   • Bacteroides species, including Bacteroides caccae, are involved in the fermentation of dietary fibers and complex carbohydrates. This fermentation process results in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. SCFAs can influence gut health, provide an energy source for colonocytes, and have systemic effects.

3. Metabolic Functions:

   • Bacteroides caccae, like other Bacteroides species, is equipped with enzymes that allow it to break down complex polysaccharides present in the diet. This metabolic capacity contributes to the extraction of energy and nutrients from dietary sources.

4. Dietary Influence:

   • The abundance and activity of Bacteroides caccae, along with other gut bacteria, can be influenced by dietary factors. Diets rich in fiber and plant-based foods provide substrates for the fermentation processes carried out by these bacteria.

5. Associations with Health Conditions:

   • Changes in the abundance of Bacteroides species, including Bacteroides caccae, have been observed in studies of the gut microbiota in various health conditions. Alterations in the relative abundance of these bacteria have been associated with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, and metabolic disorders. However, the specific roles of individual species are complex and may vary.

6. Immunomodulation:

   • Bacteroides species can interact with the host's immune system and play a role in immunomodulation. The gut microbiota contributes to the development and regulation of the immune response in the gastrointestinal tract.

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
