Huge congrats to @seandreu.bsky.social and the whole team! 🥳 So glad to have been a part of this exciting work that focused on the links between gut #microbial #genetic variation at the #strain level and a whole slew of host #phenotypes and geography. Read more @cellpress.bsky.social!

Thrilled to share that our manuscript on strain-level gut microbiome variation across diverse populations and human phenotypes is out today in @cellpress.bsky.social

🌟New Year, New Resolutions!🌟

🌱As we kick off the year, many people take part in challenges like Veganuary, aiming to try out a plant-based diet.

📄Let’s dive into how different diets shape our gut health and the diversity of the microbiome based on a recent paper published by @cibiocm.bsky.social

A study in Nature Microbiology suggests that consuming more healthy plant-based foods could increase the proportion of gut microbes that favour human health. The findings are based on an analysis of more than 21,000 vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. https://go.nature.com/40kHGqN 🧪

This is figure 5, which shows the contribution of food microbes to the gut microbiome across diet patterns.

Thank you for inviting us to write this Research Briefing! It was a lot of fun and a welcome change to write in what we hope is more widely accessible format! I always enjoy reading the "behind the paper" sections because it sheds light on the authors' insight that one doesn't usually have.

Thank you! Subgroups are not something we looked into, but we did consider hPDI (healthy plant-based diet index). This correlates with the same microbes regardless of diet pattern so in theory, omn eating more veg could have similar microbes as vegans. In practice though, omn have the lowest hPDI.

Summary: The inclusion/exclusion of major food groups leaves its mark on the gut #microbiome via potential selection & food-to-gut acquisition esp from #dairy but also from fruit/veg, highlighting the role of agricultural practices in westernized gut microbiomes. 9/10

Dr. Gloria Fackelmann @fackelmeister.bsky.social · Jan 7

Interestingly though, the most prevalent food microbes in vegans are soil microbes sometimes used in agriculture as N-fixing plant-growth promoters🌱 8/10

Dr. Gloria Fackelmann @fackelmeister.bsky.social · Jan 7

Using the database of food-specific microbes #cFMD, we found that the greatest number of microbes may be derived from dairy, then fruits/veg and finally meat. Since vegans don’t eat dairy, they harbored the fewest food microbes. 7/10

🍎🥑🥕Diversity of plant-based foods in one’s #diet can play a role in shaping the gut #microbiome, regardless of diet pattern. However, in practice, omnivores consume a significantly less plant-diverse diet than #vegans or #vegetarians. 6/10

Dr. Gloria Fackelmann @fackelmeister.bsky.social · Jan 7

By correlating gut microbes with various host #cardiometabolic markers, we found vegan signature gut #microbes to be most favorable in terms of cardiometabolic #health, followed by vegetarians, trailed by omnivores. 5/10

#Dairy microbes distinguish vegan from vegetarian gut #microbiomes, esp Streptococcus thermophilus, a common dairy starter. 4/10
