To better understand the potential impact of gut microbes on human health, clinicians need to know not just the bacteria present in stool samples, but also the metabolites such as amino acids produced by those bacteria, say Australian and British researchers. The findings were published this week in the journal mSphere. Dr Geraint B. Rogers, associate professor of microbiology and infectious diseases and member of the South Australian Institute of Health and Medical Research, said: "Typical DNA-based studies of the human microbiome or bacterial composition are limited because they do not reflect the metabolism of microbial colonies. Products. Studying the microbiome and its metabolites (metabolome) should be complementary, but because many microorganisms play the same role and some utilize the metabolites of other microorganisms, predicting metabolites is very challenging." The MetID team of Medicilon is composed of experienced scientists. We provide f...
