1. Fermentation of Dietary Fibers:

   • Bacteroides ovatus, like other Bacteroides species, is known for its ability to ferment complex carbohydrates, including dietary fibers. During fermentation, these bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. SCFAs have been associated with several health benefits, including the maintenance of gut health and the regulation of metabolic processes.

2. Metabolism of Complex Carbohydrates:

   • Bacteroides ovatus is specialized in breaking down complex polysaccharides found in plant-based foods. Its capacity to metabolize these carbohydrates contributes to the extraction of energy and nutrients from the diet.

3. Butyrate Production:

   • Butyrate, one of the SCFAs produced during the fermentation process, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in supporting the health of the colonic epithelium. Butyrate has been linked to maintaining the integrity of the gut barrier.

4. Immune System Modulation:

   • Bacteroides species, including Bacteroides ovatus, can interact with the host's immune system and play a role in immune system modulation. The gut microbiota, in general, is involved in training and regulating the immune response.

5. Associations with Diet:

   • The abundance and activity of Bacteroides ovatus can be influenced by dietary factors. Diets rich in plant-based fibers tend to support the growth of Bacteroides species, which are adapted to metabolize these complex carbohydrates.

6. Role in Gut Microbial Community:

   • Bacteroides ovatus interacts with other members of the gut microbial community, contributing to the overall balance and stability of the microbiota. The composition of the gut microbiota is dynamic and can be influenced by various factors, including diet, lifestyle, and antibiotic use.

7. Associations with Health Conditions:

   • Changes in the abundance or activity of Bacteroides species, including Bacteroides ovatus, have been observed in studies of the gut microbiota in various health conditions. Imbalances in the gut microbiota have been associated with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (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
