Infant Gut Microbiomes Exhibit Circadian Rhythms Independent of External Cues

New research shows that infant gut microbiomes have circadian rhythms, even when cultured outside the body. The study found that age plays a more crucial role in microbiome development than diet, debunking the common belief that diet significantly impacts the composition of the infant microbiome. The study also revealed that GOS-supplemented infant formula was more effective at promoting sustained levels of Bifidobacteria compared to formula containing Bifidobacteria.

Study Reveals Intricate Relationship Between Gut Bacteria and Host-Derived Metabolites

Recent research has shed light on the fascinating relationship between gut bacteria and the metabolites derived from the diet and the host. A study published in Nature Microbiology has revealed the intricate ways in which diverse gut bacteria utilize dietary-…
