1. Gut Microbiota Composition: Christensenellaceae bacteria are among the many microbial species that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract. The composition of the gut microbiota is known to have a significant impact on human health, influencing various physiological functions.

2. Association with Lean Phenotype: Some studies have suggested an association between the abundance of Christensenellaceae in the gut microbiota and a lean or healthy body phenotype. Higher abundance of Christensenellaceae has been reported in individuals with lower body mass index (BMI).

3. Heritability: Research indicates that the abundance of Christensenellaceae in the gut may have a heritable component, meaning that its presence or abundance may be influenced by genetic factors. It has been observed to run in families.

4. Metabolic Functions: While the specific metabolic functions of Christensenellaceae are not fully elucidated, members of the Firmicutes phylum, including Christensenellaceae, are known to be involved in the fermentation of dietary fibers and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs play a role in gut health and can have systemic effects on metabolism.

5. Correlation with Health Outcomes: Research is ongoing to understand the potential correlations between the abundance of Christensenellaceae and various health outcomes. However, it's important to note that associations do not necessarily imply causation, and the relationship between specific bacterial taxa and health is complex.

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
