1. Obesity alters gut microbial ecologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2005 · 6,271 citations

   We have analyzed 5,088 bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the distal intestinal (cecal) microbiota of genetically obese ob/ob mice, lean ob/+ and wild-type siblings, and their ob/+ mothers, all fed the same polysaccharide-rich diet. Although the majority of mouse…

2. Host-Bacterial Mutualism in the Human IntestineScience · 2005 · 5,387 citations

   The distal human intestine represents an anaerobic bioreactor programmed with an enormous population of bacteria, dominated by relatively few divisions that are highly diverse at the strain/subspecies level. This microbiota and its collective genomes (microbiome) provide us with genetic and…

3. Metagenomic Analysis of the Human Distal Gut MicrobiomeScience · 2006 · 4,726 citations

   The human intestinal microbiota is composed of 10(13) to 10(14) microorganisms whose collective genome ("microbiome") contains at least 100 times as many genes as our own genome. We analyzed approximately 78 million base pairs of unique DNA sequence and 2062…
