- 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…
- 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…
