Journal ArticleDOI
Gut Microbiota from Twins Discordant for Obesity Modulate Metabolism in Mice
Vanessa K. Ridaura,Jeremiah J. Faith,Federico E. Rey,Jiye Cheng,Alexis E. Duncan,Andrew L. Kau,Nicholas W. Griffin,Vincent Lombard,Bernard Henrissat,Bernard Henrissat,James R. Bain,Michael J. Muehlbauer,Olga Ilkayeva,Clay F. Semenkovich,Katsuhiko Funai,David K. Hayashi,Barbara J. Lyle,Margaret C. Martini,Luke K. Ursell,Jose C. Clemente,Will Van Treuren,William A. Walters,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,Christopher B. Newgard,Andrew C. Heath,Jeffrey I. Gordon +26 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that transmissible and modifiable interactions between diet and microbiota influence host biology and that adiposity is transmissible from human to mouse and that it was associated with changes in serum levels of branched-chain amino acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Diet on the Human Gut Microbiome: A Metagenomic Analysis in Humanized Gnotobiotic Mice
Peter J. Turnbaugh,Vanessa K. Ridaura,Jeremiah J. Faith,Federico E. Rey,Rob Knight,Jeffrey I. Gordon +5 more
TL;DR: A translational medicine pipeline is described where human gut microbial communities and diets are re-created in gnotobiotic mice and the impact on microbe and host is defined using metagenomics, creating a well-defined, representative animal model of the human gut ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying Gut Microbe–Host Phenotype Relationships Using Combinatorial Communities in Gnotobiotic Mice
TL;DR: A method in which a clonally arrayed collection of cultured, sequenced bacteria was generated from one of several human fecal microbiota samples found to transmit a particular phenotype to recipient germ-free mice is described, which enables a systems-level understanding of microbial contributions to human biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria from Diverse Habitats Colonize and Compete in the Mouse Gut
Henning Seedorf,Nicholas W. Griffin,Vanessa K. Ridaura,Alejandro Reyes,Jiye Cheng,Federico E. Rey,Michelle I. Smith,Gabriel M. Simon,Rudolf H. Scheffrahn,Dagmar Woebken,Alfred M. Spormann,Will Van Treuren,Luke K. Ursell,Megan Pirrung,Adam Robbins-Pianka,Brandi L. Cantarel,Vincent Lombard,Vincent Lombard,Bernard Henrissat,Bernard Henrissat,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,Jeffrey I. Gordon +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors colonized mice with microbial communities from human, zebrafish, and termite guts, human skin and tongue, soil, and estuarine microbial mats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking the Microbiota, Chronic Disease, and the Immune System
TL;DR: A review discusses recent findings suggesting that shifts in the microbiota may contribute to chronic disease via effects on the immune system through changes in microbiota-derived metabolites.
