Individuals with Type 2 diabetes secrete glucose into their small intestine, which gut microbiota in the large intestine consume to produce short-chain fatty acids. The rate of glucose secretion is four times higher in those who are taking metformin. Intestinal secretion of glucose was also observed in mice. Feeding of the gut microbiome with glucose is a novel observation.

EurekAlert!We feed gut microbes sugar, they make a compound we needGut microbes that were thought to feed exclusively on dietary fiber also get fed sugar from our guts, from which they produce short-chain fatty acids that are crucial to many body functions. The Kobe University discovery of this symbiotic relationship also points the way to developing novel therapeutics.

The bacterial species in subgingival plaque can be grouped into 5 major complexes. The red complex (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia) is closely tied to periodontal disease severity (pocket depth, bleeding). These findings highlight the role of sequential microbial colonization in shaping pathogenic ecosystems.

What’s in the microbiome of the foods we eat?

researchers have developed a database of the “#food #microbiome” by sequencing the #metagenomes of 2,533 different foods. They identified 10,899 food-associated microbes, half of which were previously unknown species, and showed that food-associated microbes account for around 3% of the adult and 56% of the infant gut microbiome on average.

EurekAlert!What’s in the microbiome of the foods we eat?Microbes are part of the food we eat and can influence our own microbiome, but we know very little about the microbes in our foods. Now, researchers have developed a database of the “food microbiome” by sequencing the metagenomes of 2,533 different foods. They identified 10,899 food-associated microbes, half of which were previously unknown species, and showed that food-associated microbes account for around 3% of the adult and 56% of the infant gut microbiome on average. The study published August 29 in the journal Cell, and the database is available as an open access resource.

Barley plants fine-tune their root microbial communities through sugary secretions
The custom community of beneficial microbes improve the plants’ growth

Different types of #barley recruit distinct communities of soil #microbes to grow around their roots by releasing a custom mix of sugars and other compounds, according to a new study.
