Food and Waterborne ParasitologyIn indigenous populations where soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infections are endemic, STH parasites (i.e., Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, hookworms) often co-exist and co-evolve with the gut microbiota of their human hosts. The association

Human Gut Microbiota and Gastrointestinal Cancer
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2018 Abstract Human gut microbiota play an essential role in both healthy and diseased states of humans. In the past decade, the interactions between microorganisms and tumors have attracted much attention in the efforts to understand various features of the complex microbial communities, as well as the possible mechanisms through which the ...

Phytoestrogen Metabolism by Adult Human Gut Microbiota [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 Phytoestrogens are plant-derived polyphenols with a structure similar to human estrogens. The three main groups of phytoestrogens, isoflavones, ellagitannins, and lignans, are transformed into equol, urolithins, and enterolignans, respectively, by bacteria.

Bifidobacteria and Their Role as Members of the Human Gut Microbiota [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Members of the genus Bifidobacterium are among the first microbes to colonize the human gastrointestinal tract and are believed to exert positive health benefits on their host. Due to their purported health-promoting properties, bifidobacteria have been incorporated into many functional foods as active ingredients.

Imaging the in vivo growth patterns of bacteria in human gut Microbiota
Gut Microbes, 2021 How to study the unculturable bacteria in the laboratory is one of the major challenges in human gut microbiota research. The resulting lack of microbiology knowledge of this “dark matter” greatly hinders further understanding of our gut microbiota. Here,

GABA-modulating bacteria of the human gut microbiota [PDF]
Nature Microbiology, 2018 The gut microbiota affects many important host functions, including the immune response and the nervous system1. However, while substantial progress has been made in growing diverse microorganisms of the microbiota2, 23-65% of species residing in the human gut remain uncultured3,4, which is an obstacle for understanding their biological roles. A likely

Food Design To Feed the Human Gut Microbiota [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2018 The gut microbiome has an enormous impact on the life of the host, and the diet plays a fundamental role in shaping microbiome composition and function. The way food is processed is a key factor determining the amount and type of material reaching the gut bacteria and influencing their growth and the production of microbiota metabolites.
