| Butyricicoccus| Butyricicoccus Eeckhaut et al. 2008

1. Butyric Acid Production: Some members of the genus Butyricicoccus are known to produce butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid. Butyric acid is considered beneficial for gut health as it serves as a major energy source for the cells lining the colon and has anti-inflammatory properties.

2. Influence on Gut Microbiota: Butyricicoccus is one of the many bacterial genera that contribute to the complex microbial community in the human gut. The composition and diversity of the gut microbiota are associated with various health outcomes, and alterations in these communities have been linked to conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and metabolic disorders.

3. Association with Diet: The abundance of Butyricicoccus and other bacterial genera in the gut can be influenced by dietary factors. Diets rich in dietary fibers and complex carbohydrates have been associated with a more diverse and potentially beneficial gut microbiota.

4. Potential Roles in Host-Microbe Interactions: While specific information about Butyricicoccus is limited, bacteria in the Ruminococcaceae family are known to play roles in host-microbe interactions, including interactions with the host immune system.

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
