| Bacteroidaceae| Bacteroidaceae Pribram 1933

1. Dietary Fiber Fermentation:

   • Bacteroidaceae bacteria are involved in the fermentation of dietary fibers in the colon. This fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. SCFAs play a crucial role in maintaining gut health, providing an energy source for colonocytes, and influencing immune function.

2. Metabolic Activities:

   • Bacteroidaceae contribute to the metabolism of complex carbohydrates, including the breakdown of dietary fibers. This metabolic activity produces various beneficial metabolites in the gut.

3. Gut Microbiota Composition:

   • The abundance and balance of Bacteroidaceae within the gut microbiota are important for maintaining a healthy microbial community. Changes in the relative abundance of Bacteroidaceae have been associated with various health conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and obesity.

4. Potential Probiotic Effects:

   • While Bacteroidaceae includes various species, some may have probiotic potential. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that contribute to gut health and may confer positive effects on the host.

5. Anti-Inflammatory Properties:

   • Some members of Bacteroidaceae have been associated with anti-inflammatory effects. By influencing the production of SCFAs and other metabolites, these bacteria may contribute to a balanced immune response in the gut.

6. Vitamin Synthesis:

   • Bacteroidaceae bacteria are involved in the synthesis of certain vitamins, such as B vitamins (e.g., B12 and folate). These vitamins are essential for various physiological processes in the body.

7. Associations with Disease:

   • Changes in the abundance of specific species within Bacteroidaceae have been linked to various diseases. For example, alterations in the composition of Bacteroidaceae have been observed in conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colorectal cancer.

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
