Amino Acids (AA) & Gut microbiota

Navigation

Contents

The microbiota depletes the gut of Amino Acids (AA) limiting their availability
Caballero-Flores et al. 2020 Cell Host & Microbe 28(4): 526-533.e5

Gut bacteria colonization affects the profiles of free amino acids (AA) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This indicates that the gut microbiota may regulate the bioavailability of amino acids to the host
Neis et al. 2015 Nutrients 7: 2930-2946

Amino Acids (AA) can also be fermented to produce SCFAs
Macfarlane 1995 Human colonic bacteria 75-100
