Via ENS, gut microbes influence gut motility.
Holland et al. 2021 Cell. Mol. Life Sci. CMLS 78: 4713-4733

The ENS controls all gastrointestinal functions, including gut motility, nutrient absorption, electrolyte, mucus secretion, vascular blood flow, intestinal permeability, and wound healing.
Valès et al. 2018 Brain Research 1693: 140-145

The ENS possesses peristaltic motor, secretory, and immunological function in addition to more complex behaviors such as nonpropulsive mixing or segmentation, slow orthograde propulsion via the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC), retropulsion of noxious substances, and modification of nutrient handling and changing of local blood flow.
