Details about Bacteroidia: NCBI 200643, gram-negative or unknown

  1. Energy Harvesting: Some studies have suggested that a higher abundance of Firmicutes in the gut may be associated with increased energy extraction from the diet. This has led to the hypothesis that individuals with a higher ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes may be more prone to obesity. However, these associations are complex, and the relationship between gut microbiota composition and body weight is not fully understood.

  2. Metabolism and Metabolic Disorders: Changes in the Firmicutes composition have been linked to metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. However, the exact mechanisms by which Firmicutes influence metabolism are still under investigation.

  3. Inflammatory Conditions: Some Firmicutes bacteria are associated with inflammation, while others may have anti-inflammatory properties. The relationship between Firmicutes and inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), is complex and varies depending on the specific species involved.

  4. Butyrate Production: Certain Firmicutes bacteria are known to produce short-chain fatty acids, particularly butyrate. Butyrate is considered beneficial for gut health as it serves as a primary energy source for colonocytes (cells lining the colon) and has anti-inflammatory properties. It plays a role in maintaining the health of the gut barrier.

  5. Digestion and Nutrient Absorption: Firmicutes bacteria contribute to the digestion of complex carbohydrates and the absorption of nutrients in the gut. The breakdown of dietary fibers and other complex carbohydrates by Firmicutes can lead to the production of beneficial metabolites.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
