Propionate-producing bacteria

Navigation

Contents

Propionate is primarily generated by Gram-negative bacteria, such as Akkermansia, Bacteroidales, and Enterobacteriaceae.
Reichardt et al. 2014 ISME J. 8: 1323
Oliveira & Pame 2023 Cell Host & Microbe 31: 472

Colonization with Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides massiliensis or Parabacteroides distasonis led to increases in propionate relative to germ-free controls
Faith et al. 2014 Sci Transl Med. 6(220): 220ra11
