1. Butyric Acid Production:

   • Butyricimonas bacteria are known for their ability to produce butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA). Butyric acid is considered beneficial for gut health, as it serves as an energy source for colonocytes (cells lining the colon) and may contribute to the maintenance of a healthy gut epithelium.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects:

   • Butyric acid, produced by certain bacteria including Butyricimonas, has been associated with anti-inflammatory effects in the gut. It may help modulate immune responses and contribute to the maintenance of a balanced and tolerant gut environment.

3. Gut Barrier Function:

   • Butyricimonas and other butyrate-producing bacteria have been linked to the improvement of gut barrier function. A healthy gut barrier is crucial for preventing the translocation of harmful substances and pathogens from the gut lumen into the bloodstream.

4. Metabolism of Dietary Fiber:

   • Butyricimonas, like many other bacteria in the gut, is involved in the fermentation of dietary fibers. This process produces SCFAs, including butyric acid, and helps break down complex carbohydrates that are not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

5. Associations with Diet:

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

6. Gut Microbiota Composition:

   • Changes in the composition of the gut microbiota, including the abundance of Butyricimonas, have been associated with various health conditions. Dysbiosis (imbalance in the gut microbiota) is implicated in conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and metabolic disorders.

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
