Chimpanzees and Humans Harbor Compositionally Similar Gut Enterotypes
Microbes inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract tend to adopt one of three characteristic community structures, called 'enterotypes', each of which is overrepresented by a distinct set of bacterial genera. Here we report that the gut microbiotae of chimpanzees also assort into enterotypes and that these chimpanzee enterotypes are compositionally analogous to those of humans. Through the an...
متن کاملLinking long-term dietary patterns with gut microbial enterotypes.
Diet strongly affects human health, partly by modulating gut microbiome composition. We used diet inventories and 16S rDNA sequencing to characterize fecal samples from 98 individuals. Fecal communities clustered into enterotypes distinguished primarily by levels of Bacteroides and Prevotella. Enterotypes were strongly associated with long-term diets, particularly protein and animal fat (Bacter...
متن کاملTwo gut community enterotypes recur in diverse bumblebee species
Pollinating insects are key to the evolutionary and ecological success of fl owering plants and enable much of the diversity in the human diet. Gut microbial communities likely impact pollinators in diverse ways, from nutrition to defense against disease [1,2]. Honeybees and bumblebees harbor a simple yet specialized gut microbiota [3] dominated by several newly described bacterial species, inc...
