| Clostridiales Family XIII. Incertae Sedis

1. Mucosal Surfaces:

   • Verrucomicrobia bacteria are often found in mucosal surfaces, including the gastrointestinal tract. Their presence in the mucosal environment suggests potential interactions with the host's immune system and other microorganisms in these regions.

2. Akkermansia muciniphila:

   • One of the well-studied genera within Verrucomicrobia is Akkermansia. Akkermansia muciniphila is a species known to inhabit the mucus layer of the intestinal lining. Research has suggested that A. muciniphila may have positive effects on metabolic health, including its potential role in maintaining mucosal integrity and modulating metabolic pathways.

3. Mucus Degradation:

   • Some members of Verrucomicrobia, including Akkermansia species, are specialized in utilizing mucin, a component of the protective mucus layer in the gut. This ability to degrade mucin may influence the gut environment and the interactions between the microbiota and the host.

4. Metabolic Health:

   • Akkermansia muciniphila has been associated with metabolic health benefits in preclinical studies. It has been linked to improvements in glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism. However, the translation of these findings to human health is an area of ongoing investigation.

5. Immunomodulation:

   • Verrucomicrobia bacteria may play a role in immunomodulation, influencing the host's immune response. The interactions between Verrucomicrobia and the immune system are complex and context-dependent.

6. Associations with Disease:

   • Altered abundances of Verrucomicrobia have been observed in studies of the gut microbiota in various health conditions. Changes in the relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia, including increases or decreases, have been reported in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, and diabetes. However, the specific contributions of Verrucomicrobia to these conditions are still being explored.

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
